Description
The DAP does not have a way to tell the client what string to show when the debuggee is "running". It only has a mechanism when being stopped (the description attribute of the stopped event).
This results in the situation that the client has to hardcode the string "Running" instead of receiving all UI strings via DAP.

Research direction
Start by reading the DAP protocol definition and the stopped event's description attribute. Define how the protocol should expose UI strings for non-stopped states such as running, then verify that a client can receive the string through DAP instead of hardcoding it.
