Description
Running commit `1f083ce9ef21fa3d084f6f10cf136748a294f4f79257161f935c4b926ef7dfa5` on Fedora Linux 42.20250523.0 (Silverblue), the flatpak _was_ working but suddenly stopped opening folders / files. I had two locally installed extensions, `ms-vscode-remote.remote-containers` and `vscodevim.vim`, which even when disabled it fails to open files/folders. I also tried reverting to commit `e40702713b7a50093f3d0b74a987ad54316dc39a910fb12ae86ef08fde87a9a9` but observed no change.
This may not be an issue with the flatpak distribution, but it doesn't seem like a silverblue version change should cause such an issue given its containerized.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the failure when opening files or folders with commit 1f083ce9ef21fa3d084f6f10cf136748a294f4f79257161f935c4b926ef7dfa5 on Fedora Silverblue 42.20250523.0, with the listed extensions disabled. Compare that behavior with commit e40702713b7a50093f3d0b74a987ad54316dc39a910fb12ae86ef08fde87a9a9; done means establishing whether the hang is caused by the VSCode Flatpak or the Silverblue environment.
