Nx console post-install hook hanging with CPU at 100%

[edusperoni]

Current Behavior

Since Nx console always downloads the latest of everthying and runs post-install, it's spawning tons of processes of nx configure-ai-agents --check which hang with 100% CPU

Expected Behavior

My laptop not to fry when I leave it unattended for the night with VSCode open

I'm sorry for the snark, but this frustrating and seems to be happening every other release (at least it's not malware this time? hopefully?). A couple releases ago it (Nx Console extension) kept restarting itself/reloading the graph randomly and also running at 100% CPU until you restarted the extension.

Additional Information

Nx Console always installing latest by itself seems to not be a good idea. There's no way for the user to control what it installs. It was a problem with the supply chain attack the other day, and seems to be a problem again when an unstable release gets pushed.
