Validations

• Check that you are using the latest version of the extension
• Check that there isn't already an issue that reports the same bug to avoid creating a duplicate.
• Check that this is a concrete bug. For Q&A open a GitHub Discussion or join our Discord Chat Server.
• The provided reproduction is a minimal reproducible example of the bug.

Reproduce the issue from samples/browser-v5 using vitest.config.ts and basic.test.ts: start a continuous run, edit the test, and observe the run and icon state. Trace the VS Code extension's continuous-run handling around browser-mode results and file changes; done means repeated edits trigger runs and the icon stops normally after each run.
