Description

Scaffolded Function Apps don't get .vscode/settings.json values so the extension wants to initialize for debugging.

Image

It doesn't cause any issues if you run the init, but you end up with additional tasks and a separate "attach node functions" launch profile. I wouldn't want customers to get this notification every time they load their app, but it's just an annoyance so not a high priority.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the issue with a scaffolded Azure Function App and inspect the extension's initialization detection and the generated .vscode/settings.json values. Done means scaffolded Function Apps no longer prompt for initialization or add unnecessary tasks and an "attach node functions" launch profile.
