Description
Hi
I just installed VS code and the quarto extension for a nice environment to author quarto markdown.
The extension seems to continuously use nearly 100% of a CPU on my Macbook Pro running macOS Monterey. This constantly keeps heating my computer, causing my fan to run all the time.
From Activity monitor:
Process name %CPU PID User
Code Helper (Plugin) 96,8 69099 Dysthe
Query about process:
$ ps aux | grep 69099
Dysthe 69099 99.7 0.4 1209937780 75004 ?? R 6:24PM 67:38.73 /Applications/Visual Studio Code.app/Contents/Frameworks/Code Helper (Plugin).app/Contents/MacOS/Code Helper (Plugin) --ms-enable-electron-run-as-node /Users/Dysthe/.vscode/extensions/quarto.quarto-1.87.3/out/lsp/lsp.js --node-ipc --clientProcessId=69063
Is there any way to avoid this?

Research direction
Start by examining the VS Code extension's out/lsp/lsp.js entry point and reproduce the report on macOS Monterey with the stated extension version. Trace the sustained CPU usage and verify that the extension no longer keeps Code Helper near 100% CPU during normal authoring.
