Similarly to the vscode repo, we'd like to enable no-explicit-any eslint rule in vscode-copilot-chat.

I really tried to identify who'd be the best person to tackle this by using git-blame from vscode-copilot-chat repo or, if not available, vscode-copilot repo. If you're not the right person to tackle this, please make a guess who'd be more likely responsible and update the assignment.

Steps to take:

If your username is mentioned for the whole file:

1. remove uses of any in the whole file
2. remove the file path from ignores arrays in eslint.config.mjs (you can search for comment // no-explicit-any)

If your username is mentioned for a specific line (based on git blame):

1. remove uses of any on that specific line and check the checkbox for that line
2. if all checkboxes are checked, remove the file path from ignores arrays in eslint.config.mjs (you can search for comment // no-explicit-any)

How to fix use of any

Best: use unknown which's safer because it doesn't completely disable typechecker for that value in contrast to any

You can also try self-hosting on Agent mode to fix those for you :-).
