Description
Describe the bug
Since I have installed the extension, the shopify login dialog is opening in my browser everytime I open VSCode, which is really annoying. Why is a login even needed? I only use the extension for Liquid syntax highlighting.
Debugging information

- OS Version: Tahoe 26.5.1
- VSCode Version: 1.126.0

Research direction
Start by reproducing the repeated browser login when VSCode opens with the extension enabled, using the reported VSCode and extension versions if available. Trace the extension's startup authentication flow; done means syntax highlighting can be used without opening the login dialog on every start, while any required authentication behavior remains intentional.
