Description

MIEngine copies all debugger output to Debug Output window in Visual Studio:

settings set target.move-to-nearest-code false
=thread-selected,id="1"
Loaded '[vdso]'. Cannot find or open the symbol file.
 location added to breakpoint 2
 location added to breakpoint 3
 location added to breakpoint 4
@"Hello, World!\r\n"
@"Hello, World2!\r\n"

Is it possible to leave only debugged program output (prefixed with '@')?

Research direction

Start by tracing how MIEngine routes debugger responses into Visual Studio's Debug Output window, using the sample output in this issue as the behavior to reproduce. The work is done when debugger diagnostics such as thread, symbol, breakpoint, and settings messages are excluded while program output prefixed with '@' remains.
