Describe the bug

It appears that this keeps spinning if the project is not configured to use Betterer:

This in turn seems to make Code - Insiders Helper (GPU) go crazy with CPU usage, dragging WindowServer with it along:

If I hide the extension from the status bar:

GPU/CPU usage instantly calms down. I can no longer see Code - Insiders Helper (GPU) with any relevant usage.

To Reproduce

Open a project where betterer isn't installed, or otherwise get the status bar icon to spin.

Expected behavior

No CPU usage.

Screenshots
