Akeyless Secrets Manager extension shows duplicated folders in VS Code on Windows #1

Description

When using the Akeyless Secrets Manager extension in Visual Studio Code on Windows, the extension duplicates the same folder many times in the Akeyless Explorer panel. This makes it impossible to browse secrets properly.

Steps to Reproduce:

  1. Install the extension from VS Code Extensions or the VS Code Marketplace: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=Akeyless.akeyless-secrets-manager

  2. Open VS Code on Windows (tested with VS Code Version 1.104.0).

  3. Connect the extension to an Akeyless environment (I'm using an OIDC connection).

  4. Expand a folder (e.g., nonprod).

  5. Notice that a child folder (e.g., data-engineering) is repeated dozens of times.

Expected Result:
Each folder in Akeyless should be displayed once, with its real children visible.

Actual Result:
The same folder is repeated many times in the tree view (screenshot attached).

Environment:

VS Code Version: 1.104.0 (user setup)

Additional Notes:

This appears to be a tree-rendering/recursion bug specific to VS Code (may not reproduce in Cursor).
