CRITICAL: Continuous background loop & loading cursor (a2a-server.mjs / cloudcode_cli.exe) - Persists after Downgrade #1213

@ahmedgamalsgls24-crypto

Description

@ahmedgamalsgls24-crypto

Issue: VS Code triggers a continuous Windows loading/busy cursor (blue spinning circle) due to a background process loop. This happens even when VS Code is opened with NO workspace/folder.

Evidence from Process Explorer:
The extension-host is constantly consuming CPU (7% to 9%). The specific processes causing this are:

  1. ...\extensions\google.geminicodeassist-*\agent\a2a-server.mjs
  2. cloudcode_cli.exe located in %LOCALAPPDATA%\cloud-code\cloudcode_cli\...

Troubleshooting Steps Taken (The Bug persists):

  • Disabled the extension: The CPU usage drops immediately, and the mouse cursor returns to normal.
  • Downgraded to an older version: The issue still persists. It seems the background CLI tools or cached servers in %LOCALAPPDATA% are not cleanly removed or are causing the same loop across versions.
  • Complete VS Code Reset: Cleared %APPDATA%\Code and %USERPROFILE%\.vscode, but the issue returns as soon as the extension is reinstalled.

Environment:
OS: Windows (Issue affects the system-wide cursor).

Request:
Please investigate the a2a-server.mjs and cloudcode_cli.exe background loop. There needs to be a fix to stop these processes from hanging and continuously indexing when no active coding or workspace is present.
