VS Code January 2024 (1.86.1) update breaks coloring in Go

[brituck]

Please provide as much information as possible, usually I need these information to actually start working on an issue, so try to fill as much of these as possible

Sample code

package transport

import "net/http"

const (
    success         = "success"
    failure         = "failure"
    badRequest      = "bad_request"
    accessDenied    = "access_denied"
    unexpectedError = "unexpected_error"
)

var ipcStatusMapping = map[int]string{
    401: accessDenied,
    400: badRequest,
}

func StatusToIPCStatus(status int) string {
    if status == http.StatusServiceUnavailable {
        return StatusToIPCStatusDetail(http.StatusTooManyRequests)
    }
    return StatusToIPCStatusDetail(status)
}

func StatusToIPCStatusDetail(statusCode int) string {
    if ipcst, ok := ipcStatusMapping[statusCode]; ok {
        return ipcst
    }

    switch statusCode / 100 {
    case 2, 3:
        return success
    case 4:
        return badRequest
    default:
        return unexpectedError
    }
}
