The debugger’s no-config terminal environment contribution was being applied at process-creation scope, so existing non-Python task terminals were flagged for relaunch and showed noisy warning indicators. This change scopes those mutations to shell integration so unrelated terminal sessions are no longer marked.

  • Behavioral change

    • Update no-config env mutators to apply via shell integration (applyAtShellIntegration: true) instead of process creation.
    • Keeps debugpy <script.py> terminal flow intact while avoiding relaunch prompts on unrelated terminals.
  • No-config env vars updated

    • PYDEVD_DISABLE_FILE_VALIDATION
    • VSCODE_DEBUGPY_ADAPTER_ENDPOINTS
    • BUNDLED_DEBUGPY_PATH
    • PATH append for noConfigScripts
  • Unit test updates

    • Extend existing noConfigDebugInit unit assertions to verify mutator options are shell-integration based and not process-creation based.
const shellIntegrationMutatorOptions: EnvironmentVariableMutatorOptions = {
    applyAtShellIntegration: true,
};

collection.replace('VSCODE_DEBUGPY_ADAPTER_ENDPOINTS', tempFilePath, shellIntegrationMutatorOptions);
collection.append('PATH', `${pathSeparator}${noConfigScriptsDir}`, shellIntegrationMutatorOptions);

@copilot with this limiting, how does a user get the no config debug to work? What steps do they have to take?

No extra setup should be needed for normal use. No-config debug works in shell-integrated terminals (the default in VS Code): open a terminal and run debugpy <script.py> as before. The only caveat is existing terminals that were already open before the extension/environment update may need a one-time relaunch to pick up the new integration path; newly created terminals should work directly.

@copilot then I'm not sure how this addresses the issue? Wouldn't that mean that the no config debug would still be applied in the example in the issue?

Good catch — that command got truncated by markdown. The intended step is: open a shell-integrated terminal and run debugpy <script.py> (for example, debugpy app.py). If needed, create a new terminal first so shell integration env vars are present.
