Same assembly was loaded into multiple contexts of an application domain

Empieza reproduciendo la advertencia con Fuslogvw.exe, Windows PowerShell y los pasos de activación de la extensión indicados en el issue. Inspecciona cómo PSScriptAnalyzer y PowerShellEditorServices cargan sus ensamblados Newtonsoft.Json y determina después si los contextos duplicados son intencionados o causan los fallos de módulo indicados. Se considera terminado cuando se hayan documentado una causa confirmada y una solución o explicación acordada.

Prerequisites

• I have written a descriptive issue title.
• I have searched all open and closed issues to ensure it has not already been reported.
• I have read the troubleshooting guide.
• I am sure this issue is with the extension itself and does not reproduce in a standalone PowerShell instance.
• I have verified that I am using the latest version of Visual Studio Code and the PowerShell extension.
• If this is a security issue, I have read the security issue reporting guidance.

Summary

When opening a Windows PowerShell (x64) session in the embedded VSCode terminal, I found an error in fusion log (assembly binding log) saying Newtonsoft.Json was "loaded into multiple contexts of an application domain" and "might lead to runtime failures". I am not sure if this caused modules such as "Az.Accounts" behaving incorrectly in this session (see Not able to connect to Azure with Az.Accounts version 2.12.3 (get_SerializationSettings) from within Visual studio code), but please review the design and let us know if it's intentional or not.

Fusion log:

*** Assembly Binder Log Entry  (2025/1/20 @ 10:09:44 AM) ***

The operation was successful.
Bind result: hr = 0x0. The operation completed successfully.

--- A detailed error log follows. 

WRN: The same assembly was loaded into multiple contexts of an application domain:
WRN: Context: LoadFrom | Domain ID: 1 | Assembly Name: Newtonsoft.Json, Version=13.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=30ad4fe6b2a6aeed
WRN: Context: Neither | Domain ID: 1 | Assembly Name: Newtonsoft.Json, Version=13.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=30ad4fe6b2a6aeed
WRN: This might lead to runtime failures.
WRN: It is recommended to inspect your application on whether this is intentional or not.
WRN: See whitepaper http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=109270 for more information and common solutions to this issue.

These are the two Newtonsoft.Json assemblies that are loaded to the session, one net45 from PSScriptAnalyzer, another netstandard2.0 from PowerShellEditorServices.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Open Fuslogvw.exe (Assembly Binding Log Viewer) and enable "Log all bindings in disk" in the settings - https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/framework/tools/fuslogvw-exe-assembly-binding-log-viewer
2. Open a .ps1 script to activate the extension
3. Open a integrated terminal of Windows PowerShell (x64)
4. You should be able to find an entry like "LoadFile!FileName=(Newtonsoft.Json.dll)", the warning message is in it.
