[vscode 1.76.0] Connection not opened until manual sync

[a5ehren]

Describe the bug:
No files are displayed in the SCM tab until I do a manual sync from the extension. I do not know if this is a purposeful extension API change by MS that requires an update or a regression in vscode.

Expected behavior:
Tab should populate with my workspace upon opening, like it did in vscode 1.75.2.

To Reproduce:
Open workspace with p4client configured, go to SCM tab and see that it is empty.

Versions & Details:

• Perforce extension: 4.15.5
• VSCode version: 1.76.0
• Operating System: Ubuntu Linux 22.10
• Perforce server details (if known):
• Are you using a multi-root workspace?: No

thanks for reporting! I just had a quick look and can reproduce - it looks like a bug in the vscode API where a previously released API has been marked as experimental. It causes an exception leading to the initial sync being interrupted (and will also break the quick diffs in the editor). I've reported @ microsoft/vscode#175888
