cortex-debug: VS Code with Dev-containers: gdb server launches and exits right away

I have been using the Cortex-Debug extenstion with the VS Code Remote Containers extension without any issues for a few months now - I have a launch.json file that has successfully let me debug my firmware. I am using a Nordic board with a JLink debugger.

Until version 1.4.4, I had no problems. However, I rebuilt my container today and the extension got updated to 1.6.0 and I noticed that I wasn’t able to debug anymore - the moment I tried to launch the debugger, the server would launch and exit right away:

Waiting for gdb server to start...[2022-08-24T19:48:22.801Z] SERVER CONSOLE DEBUG: onBackendConnect: gdb-server session connected. You can switch to "DEBUG CONSOLE" to see GDB interactions.
[2022-08-24T19:48:22.901Z] SERVER CONSOLE DEBUG: onBackendConnect: gdb-server session closed
GDB server session ended. This terminal will be reused, waiting for next session to start...

I downgraded step by step and reached v1.5.1 where it started working again. I went to v1.5.2 and it stopped working. So there was something between those versions that changed that stopped things from working. It could be something as simple as a configuration problem but I went through the changelogs and couldn’t find anything that would help here. Here is my launch.json file section relating to this issue:

   {
      "name": "nRF52 App",
      "cwd": "${workspaceRoot}",
      "preLaunchTask": "make build debug",
      "executable": "${workspaceRoot}/_pca10056/s140/armgcc/_build/nrf52840_xxaa.out",

      "device": "nrf52840_xxaa",

      "rttConfig": {
        "enabled": true,
        "address": "auto",
        "decoders": [
          {
              "label": "",
              "port": 0,
              "type": "console"
          }
        ]
      },
   }

If there is any more info I can provide, I am happy to do so.

Thank you.
