Description
After closing vscode, biome.exe remains in task list. It happens after some time. And if vscode open/closes multiple times, at the end of day, you can find multiple biome.exe processes.
May be, this can cause huge memory leak, consuming all memory in a few days, when PC is going to hybernation mode, without powering it off.
Steps to reproduce
- open vscode in project, where biome is used
- work some time
- close vscode
Expected behavior
No biome.exe processes to remain after vscode is closed
