Signature

Deminified stack points to the Settings editor search path, not the terminal-link path tracked in #316442:

instantiationService.ts:69  _throwIfDisposed
instantiationService.ts:119 createInstance
settingsEditor2.ts:1661     onConfigUpdate
settingsEditor2.ts:1890     triggerSearch
settingsEditor2.ts:1821     onSearchInputChanged

SettingsEditor2 calls createInstance on an already-disposed InstantiationService during a config-triggered search refresh — likely the editor being disposed while an async triggerSearch is still in flight. Distinct call path from the existing terminal-link InstantiationService has been disposed issue (#316442), so filed separately for initial triage.
