Preflight Checklist

- [x] This is a single bug report (please file separate reports for different bugs)

What's Wrong?
When not using it for hours, very high CPU usage.
Updated the version, created a .claudeignore file so that it is not scanning a large number of files, but still present
What Should Happen?
When idle, should sleep and wait for tasks - no CPU usage
