Answer 1

The keywords in the commands you're using to set read-only mode is "in session". The session being from the time that you open that VS Code instance/window to when it closes. When you open a new VS Code instance/window, that's a new session. If you want to set this stuff permanently, use the files.readonlyInclude setting and optional related settings.
