System details:

Ubuntu 22 - Github Runner

Positron and OS details:

All recent versions

Interpreter details:

Python 3.10.12

Describe the issue:

When running our automated UI/Smoke tests there is occasionally a failure that reports "Error: Socket disposed" when trying to start up Python. We've only seen this when running automated tests. It happens perhaps 5% of the time...

Steps to reproduce the issue:

Try to start a Python interpreter

Expected or desired behavior:

Python to start

Were there any error messages in the UI, Output panel, or Developer Tools console?

Moving to triage because this is happening more frequently

While the % of tests that hit this is low... the occurrence rate is probably 1 or 2 times a day (we hit it in a PR job today as well).

I'd would advocate that we bump this to a sooner release...

Bumping back to triage to consider moving to a sooner release.

In #5262 we plan to move away from the Jupyter Adapter extension, which is where this error is arising.

Now that we are using the new supervisor by default, this codepath shouldn't be active, so we shouldn't see this error any more. QA, can you confirm?
