I didn’t make any changes myself, this just happened after an auto update.  
JLS is trying to parse my code and crashes continuously.  
This is on Windows 10 Pro.  
I am running Julia 1.12.5+0.x64.w64.mingw32  
Any suggestion is appreciated!

I think it’s the same issue as this one ([Juliaup appears to have corrupted julia language server information for vscode - #3 by brianguenter](https://discourse.julialang.org/t/juliaup-appears-to-have-corrupted-julia-language-server-information-for-vscode/88545/3))

I tried updating julia to 1.12.6 ( I have 1.12.5) and it failed:  
Checking for new Julia versions  
Updating channel 1.12  
Installing Julia 1.12.6+0.x64.w64.mingw32  
Error: The system cannot find the file specified. (os error 2)

After more digging, it was at least 2 separate issues:

- Juliaup was broken, I had to clean and reinstall Julia
- In my code, I was including a file from itself (infinite recursion). The error was telling me it was not my fault and to open a syntax issue ([Stack overflow during syntax parsing in VSCode · Issue #621 · JuliaLang/JuliaSyntax.jl · GitHub](https://github.com/JuliaLang/JuliaSyntax.jl/issues/621)).
