[ISSUE] Workbench IDE OSX - "pinMode is undefined"

With the most basic sketch and a complete reinstall of vscode (although my extensions synced down) and particle workbench (I even went into the app data / library or whatever it is on OSX and deleted the files leftover after uninstalling)

I am getting really dumb errors in my editor. All the basic arduino functions don't seem to be identified. pinMode / digitalWrite are both broken in the example below.

I think this could have to do with my includes?

#define LED 8          // the number of the LED pin
void setup()
{
  pinMode(LED, OUTPUT);
}

void loop()
{
    digitalWrite(LED, HIGH);
}

identifier "pinMode" is undefinedC/C++(20)
identifier "OUTPUT" is undefinedC/C++(20)
identifier "digitalRead" is undefinedC/C++(20)

It’s one of the things that’s handled automatically when creating a .ino file, but required for .cpp files.
