Description
Type: Debugger
command:pickProcess works well enough usually but when you are trying to attach to a short lived process it fails.
The CodeLLDB extension supports this by automatically picking the right process if there is just 1 (or maybe it even waits for the process to start which is another desirable feature).
Contributor guide

- Fork the repository and make your change on a branch.
- Open a pull request that references the issue number.
Research direction
Start by locating the command:pickProcess implementation and tracing how processId is required during attach. Compare the desired behavior with the CodeLLDB example described in the issue, then verify that a single matching process can be selected without an explicit processId; waiting for a process to start remains an additional possibility to clarify.
