[BUG] Repeatly causes GNOME 45.2 to crash on Ubuntu 23.10

[cniry]

Describe the bug Gnome is crashing at startup time. After a few crashes, gnome automatically disabled all extensions, and gnome started to work. It's broken since the beginning of this month.

If I keep enabled even only this extension, Gnome crashes a few seconds after login.

If I disable all extensions, gnome is working. If I enable this extension on already running session, it works.

Expected behavior Gnome should not crash after login.

System:

• OS: Ubuntu 23.10
• Version of V-Shell extension: 25.3
• Source of installation: extensions.gnome.org
• Other installed and enabled extensions: I disabled all other extensions during debugging and problem was not solved until disabling this extension

System log output journalctl /usr/bin/{gjs,gnome-shell} -fo cat
