Python extension icon (status bar / activity bar) disappears after updating VS Code to 1.123.1

Environment data

• Python Environments extension version: 1.30.0 (installed)
• VS Code version (Help → About): 1.123.1 (system setup)
• OS and version: Windows_NT x64 10.0.26100
• Python version (& distribution if applicable, e.g. Anaconda): unspecified (assume 3.x)
• Environment manager in use (venv / conda / pyenv / poetry / pipenv / system / uv / other): system / unspecified
• Shell (bash / zsh / fish / pwsh / cmd / other): PowerShell / cmd
• Remote / container scenario (none / WSL / SSH Remote / Dev Container / Codespaces): none
• Workspace type (single folder / multi-root / mono-repo): single folder
• Is this a regression? If yes, last known working extension version: Yes, icons were visible before updating to 1.123.1

Repro Steps

1. Use VS Code 1.122.x or earlier (Python extension icons are visible).
2. Update VS Code to 1.123.1 (system setup).
3. Restart VS Code and open any Python project folder.
4. Observe the status bar or activity bar (sidebar) – the Python extension icons (e.g., Python version, interpreter selector) no longer appear.

Expected behavior

After the update, the Python extension icons should continue to be displayed normally in the status bar (e.g., showing the current Python interpreter version) and/or activity bar.

Actual behavior

After the update, all Python-related icons disappear. Running Python: Select Interpreter from the command palette (Ctrl+Shift+P) still works, but the visual indicators are missing.
