The `code_actions_on_format` is in an invalid state and cann

Error message

The `code_actions_on_format` is in an invalid state and cannot be migrated at {}. Please ensure the code_actions_on_format setting is a Map<String, bool>

What it means

Migration guard: code_actions_on_format exists but is not a JSON object map of string keys to booleans, so the migration cannot rewrite it. The user's settings contain a malformed value (e.g. a string, array, or non-bool entries).
