Research direction
The issue names no files or tests. Start by locating the extension's settings schema and handling for VS Code editor or tab focus changes, then trace how INSERT and NORMAL modes are switched. Done means a configurable setting resets to NORMAL when focus moves to another file or tab, with coverage for the focus-change behavior.
