Implementation verdict
Update both adapters immediately if running JetBrains or VSCode—these are stability releases that fix regressions, not breaking changes. VSCode users: bump to 1.3.36. JetBrains users: pull v65. No configuration required. The remote config sync hardening and JCEF message chunking directly address freezing; worth deploying today.
