Research direction

Start with the wiki's client reference and locate the section covering debugpy-specific extensions. Document the missing debugpySocket event there, using the existing reference style; done means the event is described clearly enough for a client implementer to understand how to handle it.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

I'm working on building a client that can work with debugpy and I'm in the process of implementing DAP extensions specific to debugpy. The wiki's client reference is missing some of the extensions, specifically thedebugpySocket event.

I would really appreciate if the documentation could be updated so I could learn how to properly handle debugpy specific extensions.

Thank you!!
