Description
I was able to reproduce this issue twice back-to-back after a report from a user:
- I checked the plugin version I was on: 0.43.0
- I observed that I can see the buttons to run unit tests
- I updated the plugin to version 0.43.1
- I observed that the buttons have disappeared after a restart of the Workspace and did not reappear after a few minutes of waiting time
- I uninstalled the plugin and re-installed version 0.43.0
- After a workspace restart the buttons instantly re-appeared
I reproduced this after multiple users from a team reported this to me - so this is not an isolated incident.
When looking at the git history nothing really caught my attention that could be causing this regression.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the comparison between plugin versions 0.43.0 and 0.43.1, including a Workspace restart, and verify whether the unit-test buttons disappear. Trace the behavior responsible for showing those buttons and confirm that they return reliably in 0.43.1 without requiring a reinstall.
