json-language-features consuming >300% CPU while no VSCode windows are open

[samuela]

Does this issue occur when all extensions are disabled?: No

• VS Code Version: 1.96.2 fabdb6a
• OS Version: macOS 15.1.1 (24B91)

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Open VSCode
2. Open Activity Monitor to notice consistent >300% CPU usage by a Code Helper (Plugin) process:

3. Inspect related processes with ps aux | grep 2040 to implicate the json-language-features extension:

❯ ps aux | grep 2040

In particular, json-language-features/server/dist/node/jsonServerMain seems suspect.
