Research direction

Start by reproducing the issue in an empty Visual Studio Code workspace on Windows 10 with the Tasks command from the command palette, then enable the Java extension logs and observe the Java process. Compare behavior in a non-Java file or workspace with the expected absence of a Java process; completion should prevent the false start and document a verified result.
