Do not treat shortcuts or plan names in this course as a contract. The docs site and billing page win.

Extra plan names (Pro+, Max, Student)Expected; plans wins; this course lists no prices
CLI slash commands mismatch/help in a session or copilot help
JetBrains vs VS Code participants@workspace in VS Code, @project in JetBrains

Bookmark the docs home. Major VS Code releases may rename the Status Bar item or fold Chat into built-in AI.
