Description

When setting markers on a model and then calling editor.action.marker.next to open the peek window on the first marker, there's no way to close it other than the user clicking the X button or pressing Escape.

I'd like to be able to close the peek window via the API so that it can automatically be closed on certain events (e.g. once the model changes).

Research direction

Start by tracing the marker flow from editor.action.marker.next and the API surface for the peek problem/definition window. Determine how the window is opened and how model changes are handled, then expose a supported way to close it programmatically and verify that it closes after the requested event.
