Description

Type: Bug

## Issue Description ##
Since updating to 2.151.28 hot reload seems to have gone missing. Nothing shows in the ".NET Hot Reload" output window other than "Last Edit and Continue engine removed; ending the debugger session.".

The hot reload icon in the status bar is missing also.

Switching back to 2.148.23 bring it all back.

## Steps to Reproduce ##
Install 2.151.28

## Expected Behavior ##
Hot Realod icon and logging shows, and hot reload is enabled.

## Actual Behavior ##
No icon or logging, or any actual hot reload.

Research direction

Reproduce the missing hot reload icon and .NET Hot Reload output on extension version 2.151.28, then compare the behavior with version 2.148.23. Trace the extension's hot reload and debugger-session entry points to identify the regression; done means the icon, logging, and hot reload work again on the reported VS Code and Windows setup.
