Conflicting statements regarding content exclusion support in IDEs

There appears to be a contradiction in the GitHub documentation for Configuring content exclusion for your repository/organization/enterprise.

1. Early in the page, it states:

"GitHub Copilot CLI, Copilot coding agent, and Agent mode in Copilot Chat in IDEs, do not support content exclusion."

This indicates that content exclusions do not work in IDEs when using Copilot through these modes.

2. Later, the documentation provides instructions for testing content exclusions in IDEs (VS Code, JetBrains, Visual Studio, Vim/Neovim), implying that exclusions do work in IDEs, which contradicts the earlier statement.

Suggestion:

• Clarify which parts of Copilot respect content exclusions.
