Description
Does this issue occur when all extensions are disabled?: Both
VS Code Version: 1.106.3
OS Version: Mac OS Tahoe 26.1
Steps to Reproduce:
Ran R code in VS Code
Code failed to complete, generated error message: "The connection to the terminal's pty host process is unresponsive, terminals may stop working. Click to manually restart the pty host."
Especially with large chunks of R code (does not happen in Rstudio or R terminal)
Clicks to restart, re-runs code, error arises again, but i lost all of my environnement

Research direction
Start by reproducing the failure in VS Code 1.106.3 on macOS Tahoe with extensions disabled, using a large chunk of R code. Investigate the terminal PTY host behavior around the reported unresponsive-process message. Done means the R code completes without repeatedly losing the environment or requiring a PTY restart.
