Research direction

Start by reading the linked sections in DisconnectHandler.cs, LaunchAndAttachHandler.cs, PowerShellContextService.cs, and RunspaceDetails.cs. Trace the existing handling for Enter-PSHostProcess and Debug-Runspace, then determine the pipeline-thread changes required for Azure Functions host support. Done means both debugging scenarios work with the required PowerShell-specific behavior.

Description

Area-Engine Issue-Bug

Enter-PSHostProcess debugging is both an essential form of debugging, but also essential for PowerShell Azure Functions Host support. Because of PowerShell's quirks, we have to do special things to support it.
