Description
Needed to connect to a custom local application re-implementing a debug server protocol, and trying to connect only returned "Failed to connect to the debug server". The issue ended up being related to the Platform selection, and brute forcing my way through the options resolved it.

Research direction
Reproduce the connection failure using a custom local application that implements the debug server protocol, then trace the connection attempt and Platform selection handling. Done means a failed connection reports more useful information than "Failed to connect to the debug server," including the relevant cause or selected platform.
