Description

### Request Overview

The current `VSCode` uses `lldb-mi` as the `MIMode` middleware for the debugger, but it has not received new feature support for a long time and has been removed from LLVM. I think a better alternative is the LLVM officially maintained [lldb-dap](https://lldb.llvm.org/resources/lldbdap.html)。

Research direction

Start by locating the current lldb-mi and MIMode integration in the TypeScript extension, then read the linked LLVM lldb-dap documentation. Replace the existing debugger middleware configuration with lldb-dap and verify that CMake debugging still launches and behaves correctly.
