```
**Behavior**
After extension updated to 6.0.20260301 general instability across VSCode occurred.
- "Initializing tsconfig.json" message displayed indefinitely in the status bar
- Behaviors from other extensions may or may not function (eg. running commands)
- Unable to run commands related to TS Server such as "Open TS Server log"
- File renaming indefinitely hangs waiting for participants
Reverting to 6.0.20260228 resolved the issues.

Research direction
Start by comparing extension versions 6.0.20260301 and 6.0.20260228 using the provided VS Code, Electron, Node.js, and Windows details. Reproduce the indefinite “Initializing tsconfig.json” status, the unavailable “Open TS Server log” command, and the file-renaming hang. Done means these operations no longer hang or disrupt other extensions after the problematic update.
