Research direction
No source file, test, or entry point is identified in the report. Start by reproducing the hang with a Spring Boot project using the reported extension, VS Code, and Windows versions, then inspect the extension's initialization logs. Done means the workspace finishes initialization instead of remaining at -21%.
