Description
The pylance release artifact size has gone a bit too large, Feb 2025 is 36MB, July becomes around 40MB, currently it's around 45MB per platform. We should investigate if we can trim any dependencies or if we have accidentally brought duplicated or unnecessary dependencies.

Research direction
No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by locating the release artifact build and its dependency graph, then compare the per-platform artifacts with the February, July, and current sizes. Done means duplicated or unnecessary dependencies have been identified and the artifact size is reduced.
