Why did you remove ask mode in VSCode extension!?

Jesus christ why?!
I just asked codex a simple question, it and immediately proceeded to edit my code. This is just such an insanely giant downgrade! Worse yet, the UNDO button in the Codex extension UI doesn’t even work, so I could not even revert the changes codex made, and had to go file by file reverting them manually.
This is crazy! Why would you remove it! Just let me ask questions about the code without Codex immediately jumping in to mess with it.
