Research direction
Start with the PSReadLine ReadLine entry point and the exception stack trace, using the Visual Studio Code Host and the listed PSReadLine and PowerShell versions as the reproduction context. The issue does not identify a source file or test, and the vague reproduction will need to be made reliable before confirming that normal command entry no longer raises the exception.
