Description

Currently, while an attempt has been made to reload the vscode configs, it doesn't actually work.

While the detection by onDidChangeConfiguration properly triggers the event, my attempt reloading the config with vscode.workspace.getConfiguration doesn't read in the newer configs.

Is there a way to fix this? If not, we need to create a warning/notice for users to reload.

Research direction

Start at the onDidChangeConfiguration handler and the vscode.workspace.getConfiguration call mentioned in the issue. Reproduce the configuration change and check whether newer values are read. Done means configuration reloads correctly; otherwise, define the warning or notice users should receive when a manual reload is required.
