Description

After overcoming the error I report in Issue #12947, Continue would still not start up.
Duck.ai helpfully interpreted the console log output and said "Continue is trying to register/update a config.yaml schema in VS Code settings, but the YAML extension isn’t installed, so it can’t write yaml.schemas."

After I installed the Red Hat YAML extension, Continue started up.

To reproduce

See description above.
