Describe the problem

Recently, I've noticed that my Mac has terrible battery life.

Today I learned that Mac users, including Arduino users, are reporting the ShipIt process burning 100% CPU endlessly. See this thread element-hq/element-desktop#647. Unfortunately, it is the type of problem where it's difficult to assign responsibility, because ShipIt is apparently used by many products, including GitHub, VSCode, and Arduino IDE.

In my case, however, the responsibility apparently lies with the Arduino IDE. I see this:

Macbook-Pro-2019:yarc jeff$ ps -efww | grep -i shipit
 501 72870 1 0 4Mar23 ?? 12946:47.14 /Applications/Arduino IDE.app/Contents/Frameworks/Squirrel.framework/Resources/ShipIt cc.arduino.IDE2.ShipIt /Users/jeff/Library/Caches/cc.arduino.IDE2.ShipIt/ShipItState.plist
 501 28553 2104 0 10:20AM ttys000 0:00.00 grep -i shipit

Mac Activity Monitor confirms, showing ShipIt using 99.8% CPU and having accumulated over 215 hours of CPU time.

To reproduce

Obviously I have no idea how to reproduce this. But this bug should remain open to track the problem until someone figures out how to reproduce and/or fix this issue.

Expected behavior

ShipIt should not consume 215 hours of CPU while continuing to run at 100% CPU.

Arduino IDE version

Arduino IDE 2.0.4

Operating system

macOS

Operating system version

Ventura 13.2.1

Additional context
