Each VS Code window is a separate extension host, and Electron throttles both timers and fs.watch delivery in unfocused/hidden windows — so with several windows open, only the one you last worked in keeps its status bar current; the others lag or stop updating. Now, when a window regains focus, we force an immediate refresh and re-arm the timer + file watcher, so a background window catches up at once instead of after the next (throttled) tick — or never.

Closes #55.
Problem: with several VS Code windows open, only the window you last worked in keeps its status bar current — the others lag or stop updating. Each window is a separate extension host, and Electron throttles timers and
fs.watchdelivery in unfocused/hidden windows, so background windows go stale and never catch up.Fix: listen for
onDidChangeWindowState; when a window regains focus, force an immediate refresh and re-arm the auto-refresh timer + file watcher, so it catches up at once. Ships in 2.2.0.
