This is due to a well known Squirrel issue: Squirrel/Squirrel.Mac#182

Workaround: Move Code out of Downloads and into the Applications folder.

Workaround 2: If updates still don't work after moving Code to the Applications folder, you can fix it with xattr:

sudo chown $USER ~/Library/Caches/com.microsoft.VSCode.ShipIt/*

xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /Applications/Visual\ Studio\ Code.app

Closing this issue since the fix for #57664 allows us to inform users of this situation, instead of failing silently.
