Research direction
Investigate the command registration for 'extension.node debug.startAutoAttach'. The error occurs in command registry main.ts, suggesting the command is not registered in the hosted plugin context. Check if the VS Code debug extension plugin registers this command, and ensure it's properly available when Node Auto Attach is enabled. Look at the plugin ext package for debug related command registrations.
