Pull request overview
This PR updates the Chat Status Dashboard UI/UX in the workbench and enhances the Copilot workspace indexing status contribution to better reflect state (including icons), based on feedback.
Changes:
- Refactors the dashboard to show “Inline Suggestions” and each contributed chat status item as separate collapsible sections.
- Replaces action-based model/provider option pickers with native inline
<select>dropdowns and adds a tri-state per-language override control for inline suggestions enablement. - Adds icon metadata to the workspace indexing chat status item and prefixes those icons into the description string.

- The provider option
<select>is also missing a programmatic label. Sinceoption.labelis rendered in a separate<span>, screen readers may not associate it with the combobox. Consider wiring them up via<label for>/id oraria-labelledbyon the select.
optionContainer.appendChild($('span.suggest-option-text', undefined, option.label));
const select = optionContainer.appendChild($('select.inline-select')) as HTMLSelectElement;
for (const value of option.values) {
