Description
What happened?
Starting with IntelliJ v2024.1.2 (this didn't happen with v2024.1.1), when my IntelliJ window loses focus (i.e. due to alt-tab) this plugin is running on files that haven't changed. This causes the files to be re-saved, frequently giving me a dialog box that disk and in-memory changes are conflicting even though they aren't.
In case it matters, I'm on a MacBook Pro M2 running macOS Sonoma v14.4.1.
What did you want to happen?
The plugin should not run when IntelliJ loses focus and no files have been changed.

Research direction
Reproduce the behavior with IntelliJ 2024.1.2 by switching focus while files are unchanged, then inspect the plugin's handling of focus and file changes. Done means focus loss alone no longer runs or re-saves files, while formatting still occurs after a file is changed.
