👓 What did you see?
Once the extension is initialised (by opening any .feature file), the syntax highlighting is present in all other files.
I originally noticed this because #[given(regex = r"^I request `(/\w+)`$")] line became comment-style (grey color and italic)
I then bisected my extensions to confirm this happens only when Cucumber is enabled. And then I tried just pasting the Feature section in some arbitrary file's multiline comment:
>Developer: Inspect Editor Tokens and Scopes Before and after extension initialization:
| before |
after |
 |
 |
✅ What did you expect to see?
The gherkin-specific syntax highlighting should only be applied in .feature files.

🔬 How could we reproduce it?
I guess just open any file and try making a multi-line comment with gherkin syntax in it.
📚 Any additional context?
This is mostly a concern of the cucumber/language-service repo, right?
