Description

On one of the sessions each time I were to rebuild or reconfigure the build I would get an "Couldn't find header" error until I've restarted VSCode.
I've meson clean'd my build dir, but that didn't help at a time.
I've renamed the folder and it suddenly began happening.
I then have tried removing the build dir and recreating it in both the terminal and VSCode.
I don't have a minimum reproducible sadly.

Meson: v1.7.0
VSCode: Microsoft RPM Repo. v1.100.1
Distro: Fedora 42

Research direction

Start by reproducing the rebuild or reconfigure flow in VSCode with Meson 1.7.0 on Fedora 42, including after renaming and recreating the build directory. Done means the intermittent "Couldn't find header" error is reproducible and can be resolved without restarting VSCode.
