Description

I tried a pre-release and a release version (v0.38.2) with VSCode 1.77.3. Running a test from code (little green icons) or the test view works, but if you pause and then press "restart" (Ctrl-Shift-F5) in the little floating window it stops running the current test but doesn't restart. I see threads in the debug view but they are just hanging and eventually time out and exit. The test is not restarted.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the failure with the listed VS Code and extension versions: run a test, pause it, then use Restart from the floating debug window or Ctrl-Shift-F5. Inspect the test debug restart flow and the threads shown in the debug view; done means the paused test stops cleanly and the same test starts again instead of hanging and timing out.
