- * A factory class for creating and providing the executable descriptor for the LLDB Debug Adapter.

- * determining the path to the LLDB Debug Adapter executable and ensuring it exists before launching
- * a debug session.
- *
- * This class uses the workspace context to:
- *  - Resolve the path to the debug adapter executable.
- *  - Verify that the debug adapter exists in the toolchain.
- *
- * The main method of this class, `createDebugAdapterDescriptor`, is invoked by VS Code to supply
- * the debug adapter executable when a debug session is started. The executable parameter by default
- * will be provided in package.json > contributes > debuggers > program if defined, but since we will
- * determine the executable via the toolchain anyway, this is now redundant and will be ignored.
