Description
Environment (please complete the following information):
- OS (e.g., Windows 10): Windows 11
- Extension version (e.g., 1.2.3): 1.4.0
Describe the bug:
I'm using VS Code to debug Edge WebView2 (running in Outlook Win32). I thought I would try the Edge DevTools extension.
I found that I could change the setting to look for port 9229 instead of 9222, and when I do, I see the target show up and I can attach.
By default, "edge://inspect" in the browser will search both ports 9222 and 9229 by default. Seems like the extension should do the same thing.
Repro steps:
Have WebView2 running in an app so it's debugging. (Not sure the steps needed to accomplish this.)
Open the web extension.
Expected behavior:
Expect the webview instance to show up.

Research direction
Start by locating the extension's Port setting and the code that discovers Edge debugging targets. Check how the default port is used and how a configured value is parsed. Done means the default search finds targets on both 9222 and 9229, while the Port setting accepts multiple values and existing single-port use still works.
