Description
Motivation: We should never acquire service instances prematurely or store them in fields for later use. This is considered as bad practice due to potential memory leaks. More details: https://plugins.jetbrains.com/docs/intellij/plugin-services.html#retrieving-a-service
FYI there's a nice extension method for retrieving services like
project.service<MyService>
orservice<MyService>
for application-level services (like Continue settings). I've applied this everywhere.This fix is somewhat related to #5819
