Related GitHub Issue

Closes: #1859

Description

Added the --disable-extensions argument to the "Run Extension" configuration in .vscode/launch.json. This prevents other installed extensions from loading alongside the extension being debugged, avoiding interference during debugging.

Test Procedure

Launch the Extension Development Host in VS Code via F5 (Run Extension)
Confirm that no other installed extensions are loaded in the new window, and only the target extension is activated

Thanks for contributing. This comment tracks the review sequence and the next action.

Current step: Wait for GitHub to finish calculating mergeability.

Review-state labels are managed by this workflow; do not edit them manually. community-approved is managed the same way — do not add or remove it manually. It signals a fresh community code approval for the current head as an advisory priority only; maintainer review is still required.
