Research direction
Start by locating the implementation of the “Generate launch configuration” command and the code that writes .vscode/launch.json. Inspect how the env property is produced, then verify the generated configuration against Visual Studio Code's accepted launch properties. Done means the command no longer creates a configuration with an invalid property.
