I've been trying to set up a script I can run after installing an instance to enable IPM across all namespaces. I have been able to install IPM successfully using

set r = ##class(%Net.HttpRequest).%New(),
    r.Server="pm.community.intersystems.com",
    r.SSLConfiguration="ISC.FeatureTracker.SSL.Config" 
d r.Get("/packages/zpm/latest/installer"),

enable -map -globally

I've just installed Visual Studio Code, installed the InterSystems ObjectScript Extension Pack as documented here, connected it to a local InterSystems IRIS instance, and created a workspace associated with one of that instance's namespaces. However, after doing this, I don't see the ObjectScript button on the left toolbar when opening the workspace.

The ObjectScript extensions are installed and enabled as shown below; I've tried reinstalling them and restarting VSCode, but this doesn't make a difference:
