Start by reproducing the issue while attaching the debugger to a different pwsh window, then review vscode-powershell.log, StartEditorServices.log, and EditorServices.log. Compare the actual debugger behavior with the expected stop at the breakpoint and determine whether the attached logs explain why execution continues without halting.
