Description

Issue Description

If the Interactive Debugger is started, then a breakpoint is set, but then the Interactive Debugger is then stopped, the breakpoints are still present and are not synced with the breakpoint activity bar. Further runs will still trigger debug mode even if the system currently isn't in the interactive debugger.

If PSBreakpoints are cleared when the debugger stops, this should fix it. This may be a PSES issue.

Research direction

Reproduce the sequence in the VS Code PowerShell extension: start an Interactive Debugger, set a breakpoint, stop the session, and run again. Trace the debugger-stop handling and PSBreakpoints synchronization; done means stopped sessions clear their breakpoints, update the activity bar, and no longer trigger interactive debug mode.
