Research direction
Start with the launch.json configuration in the issue and investigate cppdbg's console behavior on M1 macOS with the LLDB mode and avoidWindowsConsoleRedirection setting. Reproduce the reported behavior and trace the relevant VS Code C/C++ extension debugger entry point; done means program output appears in the integrated terminal as requested.
