How It Works
When you open a Git repository, the extension detects the current branch name
If it's not a default branch, a random color is generated (or a previously saved color is restored)
The color is written to workbench.colorCustomizations at the workspace scope
Colors automatically change when you switch branches
Colors are persisted in globalState, so the same branch always gets the same color even after restarting VS Code.
