Description

When I start to debug, all breakpoints indicators(red circles on side bar + red lines on code window) disappear from windows on run mode.
I am using lldb mi mode by calling Debug.MILaunch /Executable:<path_or_logical_name> /OptionsFile:<path>.
Remote target is running corerun(coreclr runtime) with gdbjit feature.
Where is the good starting point to resolve this ?

Research direction

Start by reproducing the issue through Debug.MILaunch in lldb MI mode with the described remote CoreCLR target and gdbjit configuration. Trace what changes when execution enters run mode and compare breakpoint indicators before and after. Done means breakpoint indicators remain visible while debugging, with the behavior verified against this launch path.
