Research direction
Reproduce the web-search stall in the VS Code extension using the reported extension, VS Code, and Windows versions, then trace the web-search flow from the extension entry point. No source file or test is named, so use the extension diagnostics and existing tests, if present, to locate the failure. Done means a web-search prompt completes instead of remaining stuck.
