Description

This was something we discovered during developing the .NET ambient task feature. Addressing this issue will allow our scaffolding command to be more discoverable.

Reproduce steps:

When you F5 on a python / node file, you do not see the debugger from our extension.

However, you do see our debugger while F5'ing a C# file, you do. (This is added by the .NET SDK Build PR https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-docker/pull/3960)

Research direction

Start with the extension's scaffolding command and compare its F5 behavior for Python and Node projects with the C# behavior described in PR 3960. Done means F5 on a Python or Node file makes the extension's debugger discoverable, as shown in the issue screenshots.
