How does VS Code remember trusted workspaces?

Question

I would like to know how VS Code remembers which folders, repos and workspaces are "trusted". That is, where is it stored? In my personal case I want to know for Linux and Mac installations, but others may be interested in where it's stored in Windows too.

When you run code . in a directory, Visual Studio Code create a workspace (for example, 504186ccde2f6d27a29b695ad0ceb3dc) in

$HOME/.config/Code/User/workspaceStorage # Linux
$HOME/Library/Application Support/Code/User/workspaceStorage # macOS
C:/Users/YourUser/AppData/Roaming/Code/User/workspaceStorage # Windows

In 504186ccde2f6d27a29b695ad0ceb3dc, there is a file, state.vscdb (an SQLite database), which contains a key, workspace.trust.startupPrompt.shown.
