With version 0.4.3 of this extension, I can't seem to get the extension to activate. The VSCode extension host logs say the following:
Error: Failed to find the Host version information in output from "dotnet --info".

, and when I dig into this a bit, I think the root cause is because the shape of dotnet --info has changed. Here's my output:

The big difference here is that there's a section called global.json file in the output that I don't think the code knows about.
More broadly, though, why is the version of the host specifically interesting? If the idea is just to check for a minimum 5.0 version, why not use the output of dotnet --version instead:
❯ dotnet --version 6.0.201
I think this would be much more stable. This is what we do in Ionide for similar purposes.
