Edit settings JSON

I need the workspace settings JSON updated so the project uses soft tabs, an indent size of 2, and disables automatic format on save. Edit .vscode/settings.json, add "editor.insertSpaces": true, "editor.tabSize": 2, and "editor.formatOnSave": false, then validate the file is syntactically correct before committing to the repo.

Before I push these settings to the team, make the change reviewer-friendly: move editor.insertSpaces, editor.tabSize, and editor.formatOnSave to the top of settings.json, add a one-line comment explaining why (consistency with frontend style guide), and highlight any other settings that conflict with these three.

I changed the workspace settings to use two-space soft tabs but the CI linter on main now fails and Zoe in frontend says her editor keeps reformatting. I don't know whether CI reads workspace or project config, and I can't see Zoe's local overrides. Do I revert my settings, add an .editorconfig that explicitly sets insertSpaces and tabSize, or ask Zoe to share her editor settings first? Recommend the most likely fix and the exact next message to send Zoe.

Across several projects we repeatedly lose time to whitespace and format disagreements: developers commit different editor settings, CI flips on different formatters, and PRs get blocked. I want a durable habit to stop this. Should we standardize by adding an .editorconfig at repo root, enforce formatting in CI with autofix, or mandate a shared settings.json in .vscode? Tell me which habit will cut friction fastest and the one-line rule to enforce in PR reviews.
