Vscode Gitlens: v17.11.0 Release

Added

• Adds support for Claude Sonnet 4.6, Claude Opus 4.6, Gemini 3.1 Pro Preview, and Gemini 3.1 Flash-Lite Preview AI models (#4991)
• Adds basic support for Git submodules — including repository discovery, tracking, and UI icons and tooltips to distinguish submodules in views and quick picks (#1048, #1803)

Changed

• Improves tracking for connecting flow actions by adding ide attributes to gk.dev links (#4905)
• Refactors the Welcome view to be a standalone view separate from the Home view, improving modularity and allowing the Welcome walkthrough to be displayed independently without requiring the Welcome Overlay (#4970)
• Improves the quality of output when recomposing branches in the Commit Composer by including commit messages of the previous commits as context (#4874)
• Changes logging to use VS Code's native LogOutputChannel — the custom output level setting has been deprecated in favor of native VS Code log level controls
• Switches out deprecated Bitbucket provider API method (#4967)
• Improves performance of the file system provider by adding an LRU cache to the search tree
• Improves Git shell operations by converting synchronous file system calls to async
