Description
Describe the bug
I work on a file, set some marks for key areas I jump around between. After a while I notice that my marks are gone, this is happening repeatedly while working with the file.
To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
- Go to a file
- Set a couple of marks
- Continue to use the application, work for some time (maybe an hour? not quite sure)
- Try to go to previously set mark, it is now no longer there. Error message
E20: Mark not set
Expected behavior
Got to the previously set mark

Research direction
Start by reproducing the issue in VSCodeVim using the reported steps: set marks in a file, continue working for about an hour, and try to jump to them. Investigate the mark handling and persistence entry points, then verify that previously set marks remain available instead of producing E20: Mark not set.
