Research direction
Reproduce the report by connecting from Windows to a Linux server through VS Code's Remote Explorer with the Lua extension enabled. Monitor the server with htop and compare CPU usage with the extension disabled; done means the remote language-server process no longer causes sustained 100% CPU usage.
