ADD ISSUE DESCRIPTION HERE
Problem Description:
While actively working in GitHub Codespaces (VS Code in the browser), the connection intermittently drops without warning. The editor loses connection to the remote environment and automatically reloads/refreshes the page, causing brief workflow interruptions and unsaved state resets.
Steps to Reproduce:
Open any repository in GitHub Codespaces using the browser-based VS Code interface.
Work continuously on a project (editing files, running terminal commands, or navigating code).
After a period of active use, the connection indicator flags a disconnect, and the browser automatically reloads the session.
Expected Behavior:
The Codespaces session should maintain a stable, persistent connection during active work without sudden disconnects or automatic page reloads.
Actual Behavior:
The session frequently disconnects mid-work and forces a browser page refresh, disrupting the active workspace environment.
