A client should be able to request to terminate a thread. Should include a capability to indicate whether it's supported by the runtime/adapter.
In vscode, this would probably just be a context menu option on the thread item of the callstack. An extension could implement this easily by contributing a context menu command and sending a custom debug request. Although the context menu command would show up on every row of the callstack, not just threads: https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode/issues/19180
/** TerminateThread request; value of command field is 'terminateThread'.
The request starts the debuggee to run again.
*/
export interface TerminateThreadRequest extends Request {
// command: 'terminateThread';
arguments: TerminateThreadArguments;
}
/** Arguments for 'terminateThread' request. */
export interface TerminateThreadArguments {
threadId: number;
}
