While there is sort of code in the adapter to support attach (non-remote) use case, it doesn't actually work.
Instead of attaching to the program, it actually kills it!
Key parts of the log:
As can be seen, when doing an attach an
-exec-run
is sent, which is clearly wrong, leading to the pid that user tried to connect to (651960
) being terminated and a new process starting (652103
