Description

Originally reported at https://github.com/posit-dev/positron/issues/4083, but it seems like a VS Code extension issue.

  1. Open Positron, then update Quarto CLI
  2. Go to Terminal and type quarto --version

The updated version shown in the Terminal does not match the version shown on the bottom bar of Quarto, which was the version when Positron first launched.

Positron:

VS Code:

In either Positron or VS Code, the UI updates correctly if you do "Reload Window" from the command palette.

Research direction

Reproduce the issue in the VS Code or Positron extension: launch the application, update the Quarto CLI, and compare quarto --version in the Terminal with the Quarto version in the bottom bar. Check the extension entry point responsible for that status-bar display. Done means the displayed version updates after the CLI changes without requiring Reload Window.
