Additional context

I wiped the .vscode from the circuitpy drive so as to rebuild it. I made sure the firmware was up to date.

"circuitpython.board.version": "8.2.9"

I tested with a second board, and I got the same error.

I reverted back to v0.1.20, and things work correctly.

Seeing something similar here on W10 where was working at v0.1.20, now running v0.2.0 the VSC Extension Host Output shows:

2024-01-01 14:57:52.197 [error] Activating extension joedevivo.vscode-circuitpython failed due to an error:
2024-01-01 14:57:52.197 [error] Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, open 'c:\Users\David\.vscode\extensions\joedevivo.vscode-circuitpython-0.2.0-win32-x64\boards\metadata.json'

If I supply that file using @wmerkens method from #121 I get past this error and things load until the libs try and update, when this error is shown:

If you open the VSIX file as a zip file this file is not there extension\boards\metadata.json in V0.20 and so does not get installed to %USERPROFILE%\.vscode\extensions\joedevivo.vscode-circuitpython-0.2.0-win32-x64\boards.

Using VSC 1.85.2 and 0.2.0 now seems to work correctly, tested on three Linux systems.

I found that since I rebuilt the stubs/boards then 0.2.0 will work on any VSC, Only on a clean install of the Ext will this problem occur.
