Problem
I am having trouble getting the Flow Language Support

Disabled the builting plugin TypeScript and JavaScript Language Features
./index.js
// @flow
const n = 5;
const f = (n: string) => n + 1
console.log(f(n));
Testing
I tested the above file by removing an adding the type to the function parameter. When adding the type it, the error would not appear until I saved. When removing it would not remove it until I saved.
I tried this with the bundled flow.

[Info - 1:18:26 PM] Starting Flow server
Given the simplicity of this example I feel like there is a strong possibility I must be doing something wrong, but I can't figure out what.
Additional Things I've tested:
- unchecking
useLSP
in the extension settings, reloading the client, and checking it again gets it to work briefly but has either stopped working at some point or ends up with the"Server is busy"
message eventually. - tried removing the extension and restarting and then reinstalling, but didn't have any effect
- updated flow-bin to 0.115.0 with no effect.
