Description
Now we have a more complicated extension.ts than before. I find there're lots of nested then/catch blocks with various callbacks, making the execution order a little bit hard to follow. Maybe we can use async/await style for better readability and clearer flow. What do you think?

Research direction
Start by reading extension.ts and tracing the nested then/catch chains and their callbacks to understand the current execution order. The work is done when the file uses async/await for the same flows without changing observable extension behavior; the issue does not identify tests or a narrower entry point.
