Leader mappings stop resolving after using VS Code debugger until window reload

Description

After using the VS Code debugger, VSCodeVim stops resolving custom leader mappings until the window is reloaded.

Important detail: Vim itself is still active and still receives keys.

• Pressing <space> is still recognized as leader
• The Vim log shows both keys being handled
• Built-in Vim motions like w, b, and text objects such as ci( still work
• Native VS Code shortcuts like Ctrl+Shift+P still work
• Only custom leader mappings stop working
• Developer: Reload Window restores the mappings immediately

Environment

• VS Code version: 1.117.0
• VSCodeVim version: 1.32.4
• OS: Windows

Minimal configuration

{
  "vim.leader": "<Space>",
  "vim.useCtrlKeys": true,
  "vim.normalModeKeyBindings": [
    {
      "before": ["leader", "f"],
      "commands": ["workbench.action.quickOpen"]
    }
  ],
  "vim.normalModeKeyBindingsNonRecursive": [
    {
      "before": ["leader", "<Space>"],
      "commands": ["workbench.action.showCommands"]
    }
  ]
}

Steps to reproduce

1. Configure:
   • <space> f -> workbench.action.quickOpen
   • <space> <space> -> workbench.action.showCommands
2. Verify both mappings work.
3. Start and use a debug session.
4. Return to the editor.
5. Try the mappings again.

Result: mappings no longer execute until Developer: Reload Window.

Reproduce the issue with the provided VS Code settings, first confirming both leader mappings work before and fail after a debug session. Trace the key-handling path using the Vim debug log and compare behavior before and after debugging; done means both mappings execute again without requiring Developer: Reload Window.
