Pull request overview
This PR updates ReviewManager’s background polling behavior so that state polling is skipped while the VS Code window is not focused, and resumes when focus returns—reducing unnecessary background activity when the user isn’t actively using the window.
Changes:
- Registers a
vscode.window.onDidChangeWindowStatelistener to trigger an immediate poll when focus returns and polling had been paused. - Refactors the polling implementation by splitting the timer scheduling (
pollForStateChange) from the actual poll work (doPoll). - Adds a focused-window check to prevent polling work from running while unfocused.
