Part of #1454
Bug
When a user selects a conda environment as the global Python interpreter,
CondaEnvManager.set(undefined, environment)persists the selection to disk viasetCondaForGlobal(), but never updatesthis.globalEnvin memory. Subsequent calls toget(undefined)return the stale old environment becauseget()returnsthis.globalEnvdirectly (line 305).Why it's a bug
The orchestrator's
getEnvironment()method callsmanager.get(scope), which returns the in-memorythis.globalEnv. Since the field is never updated afterset(), the persisted selection is effectively invisible until VS Code is restarted (whenloadEnvMapre-reads from persistent state). This causes the selection to appear to "revert" or "flicker" back to the previous environment.Repro steps
Fix
Update
this.globalEnvin memory before persisting to disk, matching the pattern already used byvenvManager.ts(lines 407–414):Before:

After:

Why this fix is correct
checkedEnvvariable already accounts for no-python environments (it'sundefinedif the user declines Python installation), so settingthis.globalEnv = checkedEnvcorrectly handles both the set and unset cases.globalEnvis only updated during initialization.Tests added
condaEnvManager.setGlobal.unit.test.ts: 4 test cases covering set, persist, clear, and no-python decline scenarios.
