Debugging doesn't respect skipFiles

[andrecasal]

Does this issue occur when all extensions are disabled?: Yes/No

• VS Code Version: 1.92.2
• OS Version: macOS 14.5 (Sonoma)

Steps to Reproduce:

1. git clone https://github.com/epicweb-dev/epic-stack
2. npm i
3. Add this launch.json config:

   {
   "version": "0.2.0",
   "configurations": [
       {
           "type": "node-terminal",
           "presentation": {
               "hidden": true,
               "group": "debug",
               "order": 2
           },
           "cascadeTerminateToConfigurations": [
               "Frontend"
           ],
           "name": "Backend",
           "request": "launch",
           "command": "npm run dev",
           "sourceMaps": true,
           "smartStep": true,
           "skipFiles": [
               "<node_internals>/**",
               "${workspaceFolder}/node_modules/**",
               "${workspaceFolder}/build/**",
               "${workspaceFolder}/server-build/**",
           ],
       },
       {
           "type": "chrome",
           "presentation": {
               "hidden": true,
               "group": "debug",
               "order": 3
           },
           "cascadeTerminateToConfigurations": [
               "Backend"
           ],
           "name": "Frontend",
           "request": "launch",
           "url": "http://localhost:3000/",
           "webRoot": "${workspaceFolder}/app",
           "sourceMaps": true,
           "smartStep": true,
           "skipFiles": [
               "<node_internals>/**",
               "${workspaceFolder}/node_modules/**",
           ]
       },
   ],
   "compounds": [
       {
           "name": "Debug",
           "presentation": {
               "hidden": false,
               "group": "debug",
               "order": 1
           },
           "configurations": [
               "Backend",
               "Frontend"
           ]
       }
   ]
   }

4. Set a breakpoint anywhere in /app/root.tsx's loader
5. Start debug session and step over to the end of the loader.

You'll notice that server-build loads, even though the debug config asks to skip files inside node_modules, build, and server-build.

In my setup with remote debugging inside docker skipFiles did not work either when i used

 "skipFiles": [
        "${workspaceFolder}/node_modules/**"
  ],

It worked after changing it to

 "skipFiles": [
        "**/${workspaceFolder}/node_modules/**"
  ],

The behavior is the same when using the actual path for the workspace folder instad of ${workspaceFolder}
