Research direction

Reproduce the issue in VS Code Insiders on Windows with the listed C# Dev Kit, C# extension, and .NET SDK versions. Create several projects, open only the created ConsoleApp project, and inspect Open Recent; done means the list contains only entries explicitly opened by the user, not the project or parent folder paths.
