What happened?

The logger and ideServer in the VS Code extension are module-level variables, which can lead to issues if the extension is reloaded or if multiple instances of the server are somehow triggered.

What did you expect to happen?

State should be encapsulated within the extension context or a class instance managed by the activation lifecycle.
