Description

Issue Type: Bug

Enabled this extension by accident and found that it caused random freezing. Did not even have to take action on my editor, it would just restart every 5 min or so. Went through VSCode Bisect process to pinpoint this issue to this extension.

Extension version: 2.1.5
VS Code version: Code 1.69.2 (Universal) (3b889b090b5ad5793f524b5d1d39fda662b96a2a, 2022-07-18T16:12:57.074Z)
OS version: Darwin arm64 21.2.0
Restricted Mode: No

Research direction

Start by reproducing the freeze with Edge Tools 2.1.5 enabled in VS Code 1.69.2 while working on TypeScript files on an Apple M1, then compare behavior with the extension disabled. Use the VS Code bisect result and memory/process diagnostics to narrow the extension behavior involved; done means saving no longer causes repeated restarts, freezing, or OOM.
