Description
Somehow (I guess) the extension displays a message that .toml was detected in the workspace and offers me generate launch targets.
It is absolutely not clear when this happens and how I can regenerate, clean/regenerate these launch settings.
It would be great to have the following workflow:
- Start VSCode
- Select "Create New Project"
- Generate Launch configrations (including installing debugger, or necessary extensions) MS VSCode C++ didn't work for me I had to install CodeLLDB.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the reported VSCode workflow: create a new project, observe when the .toml detection prompt appears, and try generating launch configurations. Compare the behavior with the requested ability to clean and regenerate settings and identify what debugger or extension setup is expected; done means the workflow is predictable and documented or implemented accordingly.
