How VS Code remembers unsaved work

A hands-on investigation of VS Code's Hot Exit with reproducible checks and honest limits.

The full story
When you close a VS Code window, two kinds of unsaved work survive: an untitled note you never saved, and unsaved edits to an existing file. This hands-on tutorial uses REA, VS Code's packaged code and a small recovery experiment to show where they go (the Hot Exit feature). It includes reproducible Python checks and is candid about what REA could and couldn't tell.
