What to do if the VS Code Extension is stuck on "Initializing"?

After installing the CodeScene VS Code extension, some users may encounter an issue where the plugin appears stuck during startup, showing messages like:

Code Health Analysis: initializing
CodeScene ACE: initializing

Cause

This problem is often related to the Terms & Policies acceptance prompt not appearing as expected. Normally, this prompt is displayed immediately after telemetry is initialized. Without accepting the terms, the extension cannot complete the initialization process.

Solution

If the prompt does not appear automatically:

1. Look for the prompt in the status bar, near the bell icon at the bottom right of VS Code.

2. Accept the Terms & Policies.

Once accepted, the extension should complete initialization, and you can start using CodeScene extension features as expected.
