Consider checking both global and workspace values. Relying solely on globalValue can override a user’s workspace setting. For example, use if (!sidebar?.globalValue && !sidebar?.workspaceValue) to determine if no preference was set.

Suggested change
if (!sidebar?.globalValue) {
if (!sidebar?.globalValue && !sidebar?.workspaceValue) {

await vscode.workspace.getConfiguration().update("workbench.sideBar.location", "left", true);
}

// Get auxiliary bar visibility state
const pearAIVisible = vscode.workspace.getConfiguration().get('workbench.auxiliaryBar.visible');
