Research direction
Start by reproducing the leak by enabling the PowerShell extension in VS Code and reviewing the attached logs; the issue also links to the troubleshooting guide and a related VS Code issue. Trace the extension's memory growth from the available PowerShell Editor Services entry points, then verify that memory no longer grows until the system freezes when the extension remains enabled.

Description
Prerequisites
- I have written a descriptive issue title.
- I have searched all open and closed issues to ensure it has not already been reported.
- I have read the troubleshooting guide.
- I am sure this issue is with PowerShell Editor Services itself and does not reproduce in a standalone PowerShell instance, and is not an issue with my editor.
- I have verified that I am using the latest version of PowerShell Editor Services.
- If this is a security issue, I have read the security issue reporting guidance.
Summary
Every time the extension "PowerShell v2024.3.2 (pre-release)" is enabled, the memory usage goes up until the system freezes. When disabling the extension, there is no issue. Same issue with the release version "Powershell 2024.2.2".
