Contributor guide
Research direction
Start with the linked CircleCI test and inspect how it observes RPC requests after the UI closes. Trace the relevant request lifecycle in the TypeScript extension code, then add or update regression coverage so eth_getBlockByNumber, eth_call, and eth_getBalance are not requested after closure.
