Is there a bug in the VSCode extension or am I loosing it

I keep having an issue after I close a browser instance started with the Playwright extension, then close and reopen VSCode, it complains about not being able to read the config file.

I noticed when I uninstall the extension, there's some noise in the Extension Host output about the host terminating stuff that shouldn't be running and require termination.

It seems to be causing issues with the Playwright UI mode too so I'm not sure what to think.
