This extension adds one setting:
auditnotes.defaultColor: Default background color used for new audit notes.
Notes are stored in a workspace-root file named .audit-notes.json.
- This file stays local to the project.
- If you do not want review notes committed, keep
.audit-notes.jsonin.gitignore.
No external service, account, or API key is required.
- Notes are tied to file paths and saved line ranges in the current workspace.
- Large code edits, file moves, or file renames may require note cleanup or recreation.
