Jupyter kernel startup delayed 30s+ with pixi environment on WSL2 (continuation of locked #1407)

Opening this as a new issue since #1407 ("Jupyter kernel startup delayed 30s when extension is installed (pixi environment)") is locked and can no longer receive comments, despite being closed only due to staleness rather than resolution — multiple users in that thread confirmed the bug persisted across many extension versions right up until the lock. I'm hitting the identical issue on a platform not yet represented there (WSL2; prior reports were macOS/Windows), so filing this to keep it tracked.

**Environment:**
- VS Code: 1.130.0 (WSL, desktop)
- `ms-python.python`: 2026.4.0
- `ms-python.vscode-python-envs`: 1.36.0
- `ms-toolsai.jupyter`: 2025.9.1
- Platform: linux x64 (WSL2)
- Package manager: pixi

**Symptoms match #1407 exactly:**
```
10:04:29.821 [warn] Failed to get activated env vars for ~/project/.pixi/envs/default/bin/python in 35151ms
```

In my case it compounds further — the kernel gets disposed and reselected between different interpreters multiple times in a row (seemingly automatic, not user-initiated), and *each* reselection re-triggers the same ~30-35s stall, making it look like an indefinite hang rather than a one-time delay. The Python Environments output channel shows the same conda-detection fallback (`pet_conda::package: Unable to find conda package Python in ".../pixi/envs/default", trying slower approach`) re-firing repeatedly against the identical path over the course of hours in a single session — I have logs showing the same non-conda path being re-probed via this fallback continuously from session start to +17,800 seconds later, rather than the negative result being cached after the first check.

I confirmed this isn't pixi/shell being slow — `pixi shell-hook` for the same environment completes in under a second when run directly. This lines up with the root cause identified by @korsbakken in #1407: the underlying command uses `pixi shell` (which starts an interactive shell that never returns on its own) rather than `pixi run`, so the `&&`-chained follow-up commands never execute and the whole thing stalls until timeout.

**Workaround (confirmed by multiple users in #1407):** setting `"python.useEnvironmentsExtension": false`, or disabling `ms-python.vscode-python-envs` entirely.
