vscode which uses kilo code or roo code plug-in to write code, a run to the "file/code editing" step, vscode will crash

Input command, automatically create a file and then test the file and code editing function ("create a file and then complete the test file and code editing function"), sometimes does not crash, can be automatically edited normally, sometimes still crash; open a file alone and input the command to edit the file ("complete the test file and code editing function in the current file"), will crash, crash will occur when the plug-in displays the following content
"Need to edit file:
<<<<<<< SEARCH
:start_line:1
xxxxxx”

💥 Outcome Summary

vscode process directly exit, the window immediately closed, the task interrupted

1. A similar Lingma-Alibaba Cloud AI Coding Assistant plugin does not crash when performing the same operation
2. No such problem in May of this year and before
3. Disable all other plugins and still crash
4. Replace PC (same configuration as environment), still crashes
5. Changing potentially relevant vscode settings or plug-in settings (e.g. file editing, auto-confirm execution, etc.) still crashes
6. Try to create/open test file in different path, still crash
7. Run vscode in administrator mode all the time, still crash
8. Change different AI API, still crash

I'm investigating this VSCode crash issue that occurs during file editing operations. The crash appears to happen when the extension displays the apply_diff format with '<<<<<<< SEARCH'. I'll analyze the code handling file edits and work on a fix.

Hey @liusiyuanlsy Sorry for the issues!, I noticed on the link that you shared that you are giving instructions to Roo Code in Chinese, could you try giving it the exact same instructions but in English and see if it crashes the same?

This would help us narrow down the issue, thank you!
