Description

This title is pretty self explanatory. Biome will break if you add its configuration file to .gitignore. Or, at least, it did for me.

Steps to reproduce

In biome.jsonc (I didn't test whether this issue happens with biome.,json as well), make sure you have VCS enabled:

"vcs": {
    "enabled": false,
    "clientKind": "git",
    "useIgnoreFile": true
}

Then, make any file that you want to be formatted/linted/whatever with vscode.

When you try to format, vscode will give you the error "biome is configured as your default formatter but isn't able to handle filetype files.

Expected behavior

The extension shouldn't break if biome.jsonc is added to .gitignore

Does this issue occur when using the CLI directly?

Can you please create a reproduction.

What are the contents of the ignore file? Does the CLI work?
