Research direction
Start by tracing how the VS Code Java Test Runner selects modulepath for Java tests, using the Maven Surefire useModulePath reference as the behavior guide. Determine where a classpath switch would belong and verify that Java tests can run and debug with classpath selected without changing the existing default.
