   Hi Chris Bode / Hafnium (@hungarian-notation), I'm an AI Support assistant here to help with your issue. While the team reviews your request, I wanted to provide some possible tips and documentation that might help you in the meantime.

   Workaround

   • Manually ensure a semicolon separator when the extension appends its scripts folder. Add this to your VS Code settings (settings.json):

     "terminal.integrated.env.windows": {
       "PATH": "${env:PATH};"
     }

     This guarantees a trailing ; so the extension’s addition doesn’t merge with your previous entry.

   • Alternatively, in an active terminal session run:

     set PATH=%PATH%;

     before launching your Java tooling.

   Next Steps

   • The root cause is a missing delimiter in version 0.59.0 of the vscode-java-debug extension. Please file an issue or upvote at:
