Description
## Problem
When joining a Microsoft Live Share session, Visual Studio Code crashes if Amazon Q is enabled. The current workaround is to disable Amazon Q.
I have confirmed this issue with a colleague running the same versions of VS Code, Live Share, and Amazon Q, but it works fine for another colleague using macOS Darwin arm64 24.1.0 with identical software versions. Based on my experience, this issue has persisted across multiple macOS and Amazon Q versions.
## Steps to reproduce the issue
## Expected behavior
## System details (run `AWS: About` and/or `Amazon Q: About`)

electron: 32.2.6
OS: Darwin arm64 24.2.0
Visual Studio Code extension host: 1.96.4
Amazon Q: 1.45.0

Contributor guide
Research direction
The issue names no source file, test, or entry point. Start by reproducing the crash on macOS with Amazon Q enabled while joining a Microsoft Live Share session, then inspect the VS Code extension host crash details and relevant extension logs. Done means the session can be joined without the window terminating unexpectedly, with regression coverage if the repository provides a suitable test location.
