Pull request overview
This PR aims to stop MainThreadWorkspace from accumulating undisposed provider disposables across extension restarts by switching provider registration tracking to DisposableMap and relying on the Disposable base class for lifecycle management.
Changes:
- Convert
MainThreadWorkspaceto extendDisposableand route disposal throughsuper.dispose(). - Replace provider
Map<number, IDisposable>fields withDisposableMap<number, IDisposable>and usedeleteAndDispose(...)on unregister.
