VS Code January 2024 (1.86.1) update breaks coloring in Go

[brituck]

Please provide as much information as possible, usually I need these information to actually start working on an issue, so try to fill as much of these as possible

Sample code

package transport

import "net/http"

const (
	success         = "success"
	failure         = "failure"
	badRequest      = "bad_request"
	accessDenied    = "access_denied"
	unexpectedError = "unexpected_error"
)

var ipcStatusMapping = map[int]string{
	401: accessDenied,
	400: badRequest,
}

func StatusToIPCStatus(status int) string {
	if status == http.StatusServiceUnavailable {
		return StatusToIPCStatusDetail(http.StatusTooManyRequests)
	}
	return StatusToIPCStatusDetail(status)
}

func StatusToIPCStatusDetail(statusCode int) string {
	if ipcst, ok := ipcStatusMapping[statusCode]; ok {
		return ipcst
	}

	switch statusCode / 100 {
	case 2, 3:
		return success
	case 4:
		return badRequest
	default:
		return unexpectedError
	}
}

• Change to Go code colors after vscode upgrade robb0wen/synthwave-vscode#309

solution:
