Summary

I noticed today that I had pylyzer open in the background, consuming more than 5gb of ram, making me unable to launch a game. Just tested it and closing windows terminal directly without doing :q leaves the pylyzer running in the background and slowly increasing ram usage. I used it with python uv package manager, as such I use ´uv run hx hello.py´ to edit code with the .venv of my project. I apologize in case its not a helix issue and please direct me where I need to report it. I took language.toml configurations from helix documentation here on github.

Reproduction Steps

I tried this:

  1. ´uv run hx hello.py´
  2. close terminal by using X button

I expected this to happen:
helix and related processes are terminated.

Instead, this happened:
pylyzer.exe keeps running and slowly using up all ram
