VS Code is spawning 100's of rg processes

Type: Bug

It is hard to "reproduce" because I don't know the cause.

The only difference between yesterday and today is SARIF started running.

I start up VS Code very soon, the rg process get launched.

The problem gets worse if I try to edit code.

VS Code version: Code 1.93.1 (Universal) (38c31bc77e0dd6ae88a4e9cc93428cc27a56ba40, 2024-09-11T17:20:05.685Z) OS version: Darwin x64 23.6.0 Modes:
