Description

Type: Bug

I changed the name of my CMake project (including some additional changes). Sometime later I noticed that in the Project Outline both the new and the old project names were available.
After I restarted VSCode only the new name was present.
This seems to be a bug.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the reported CMake project rename flow and inspect how the Project Outline updates before and after restarting VS Code. Trace the existing Project Outline update path and determine where the old name remains; done means only the new project name appears without requiring a restart.
