Bug Summary and Steps to Reproduce

Cannot debug my C++ application inside docker. Extension seems to be not activated.

Bug Summary:

1. I start a docker container via cmd line. Then I attach to it via vs code. Which works without problems.
2. Then I want to debug a C++ application which is running on this container.
3. Then I installed the vs extension, because it is telling me that it is not installed.
4. After checking the runtime status I see: "Not yet activated."

Expected behavior:
I can debug the application without any problems inside docker

Configuration and Logs

cannot find any logs, except in "Remote Server"

_No response_

### Additional context

_No response_

No source file or test is named. Start by reproducing the activation state in a VS Code session attached to the Docker container and inspect the available Remote Server logs; done means the C++ debugger activates and can debug the application without requiring another activation step.
