Research direction
Reproduce the activation hang with VSCodeVim 1.27.0 on VS Code 1.84.2 and macOS Ventura 13.1, using both launch and file-open scenarios. Compare activation behavior with version 1.26.1 and inspect the extension's activation diagnostics; done means activation completes and normal-mode keybindings work.
