Skipping standard library file notification

[martinwilkerson-ons]

Diagnostic Data

• Python version (& distribution if applicable, e.g., Anaconda): 3.13
• Type of virtual environment used (e.g., conda, venv, virtualenv, etc.): venv
• Operating system (and version): Windows 11 Enterprise 10.0.26200
• Version of tool extension you are using: 2025.2.0

Behaviour

Expected Behavior

No notifications during normal use.

Actual Behavior

Repeated 'Skipping standard library file (stdlib excluded)' notifications with a path pointing to site-packages.

Reproduction Steps:

I don't think I've done anything special, I have a venv (created using python -m venv <path>) activated and write code. The latest notification that showed up today was for monkeypatch, so maybe writing a pytest test using monkeypatch. Importantly, I did not open any file in site-packages.

Logs:

Unfortunately the logs include sensitive client information. I have included a redacted version (mostly removing filenames/paths).
