Research direction

Start by reviewing the linked launch.json, c_cpp_properties.json, and settings.json files, along with the macOS High Sierra and VS Code version details. Reproduce the launch-mode failure and determine whether the indicated shared-library path is being used; done means the application links successfully during debugging.
