/**
2279+
* Performs a hard reset of Electron and VS Code caches to fix corrupted runtime files.
2280+
* This method clears all Electron cache directories, IndexedDB, Local Storage, Session Storage,
2281+
* and other cached data that may become corrupted and persist even after normal resets.
2282+
*
2283+
* The operation targets platform-specific cache locations:
2284+
* - macOS: ~/Library/Caches/com.microsoft.VSCode*, ~/Library/Application Support/Code/*
2285+
* - Windows: %APPDATA%/Code/*, %LOCALAPPDATA%/Microsoft/vscode-cpptools
2286+
* - Linux: ~/.cache/Code*, ~/.config/Code/*
2287+
*
2288+
* After clearing caches, it also performs a regular state reset and offers to restart VS Code.
2289+
*
2290+
* @returns {Promise<void>} Resolves when the cache clearing operation is complete
