Product placement

Prettier - Code formatter: ACTS - formats code to be clean and consistent. Removing it would change the code's appearance. Error Lens: ACTS - highlights errors and warnings directly in the code. Removing it would make debugging harder. Path Intellisense: ACTS - autocompletes file paths while typing. Removing it would make file path entry slower. Material Icon Theme: ACTS - adds visual icons to files and folders in the project explorer. Removing it would make the file explorer less visually organized. TODO Highlight: ACTS - highlights TODO, FIXME, and other annotations in code. Removing it would make it harder to track unfinished tasks.
