Research direction
Start by reproducing the azextAgent.activate failure in VSCode 1.129.1 on Windows 11 ARM64 and inspect the extension.bundle.js call stack around the reported spawn EPERM error. The issue names no source file or test, so completion is not yet defined beyond identifying the failing process and verifying that activation no longer shows the error.
