Description
I've noticed if I have Quarto preview running, it can steal the pane focus away from me. E.g. in this clip, I'm in the Terminal doing Git operations, and at some point focus is stolen from the Terminal and switches to the editor pane.

Research direction
Reproduce the problem with Quarto preview running while using the VS Code terminal and editor, as shown in the linked clip. No file or test is named, so start by locating the VS Code extension's preview and focus-handling entry points. Done means preview updates no longer move focus away from the user's active pane.
