Description

when I try to run multiple targets sequentially , the first one is a server , it will run until you kill it by CTL-C.
At this time, I would like to execute the second target, which is a client to the server. I notic that Makefile Tools just paste the second binary path under the same terminal with the first one, but the terminal is hold by the server program.

The version of vscode is :

Research direction

No file or test is named. Start by reproducing sequential target execution in the VS Code terminal with a long-running server target followed by a client target, then inspect Makefile Tools' target execution and terminal handling. Done means the second target can run without requiring the first server to exit.
