lldb settings have no effect on the executed process

CodeLLDB version: v1.10.0

Compiler:

Apple clang version 15.0.0 (clang-1500.0.40.1)
Target: arm64-apple-darwin23.2.0

Debuggee: arch=arm64-apple-macosx14.0.0

I am debugging an application that uses the newer OpenSSL libraries with a known M1/M2 problem and solution. The solution involves requesting that EXC_BAD_INSTRUCTION be added to the darwin ignore list.

When running the debugger via the run configuration, I'm able to execute the commands in the DEBUG CONSOLE, but they don't seem to have an effect:

settings set platform.plugin.darwin.ignored-exceptions EXC_BAD_INSTRUCTION
settings show platform.plugin.darwin.ignored-exceptions
platform.plugin.darwin.ignored-exceptions (string) = "EXC_BAD_INSTRUCTION"

continue
Process 26585 resuming
Stop reason: EXC_BAD_INSTRUCTION (code=1, subcode=0x4a03000)

However, when I run lldb manually with the same executable and run the required lldb commands, I can avoid the exception and debug my application.

I also tried including the commands in the initCommands list. They appear to get executed, but still have no effect when running via the codeLLDB extension.

In the LLDB output section I only see this error repeating multiple times:
