…s.env. The env variables could potentially have some sensitive information, so we shouldn't dump all env vars. The majority of them don't seem to be useful for debugging anyway. - Removed dumping `process.env`.
- Added handpicked env vars to be logged in `logDebugInfo` Configuration method:
- VScode's `appRoot` env var.
- Env vars that start with `VSCODE_` in `process.env`.
- Removed logging of the extension discovery paths as they are already logged from the extension file, so these are redundant. - Added code comments to the various debug logs to make it easier to scan read.

Pull request overview
This PR refactors Configuration.logDebugInfo() to adjust what environment-related information is emitted in debug logs, focusing on VS Code-specific environment details rather than dumping broad environment state.
Changes:
- Removed logging of extension discovery paths (including WSL-specific paths) from the debug “Environment” payload.
- Added logging of
vscode.env.appRootand a filtered set ofprocess.enventries limited toVSCODE_*variables. - Reorganized debug-log sections with additional inline headings for language config-related logs.
`process.env` values are typed as `string|undefined` and `undefined` isn't assignable to `JsonValue` in the `JsonObject` of the env object. So we need a type predicate to make sure the entry IS string, and a type guard to discard any values that are undefined. - Fixed the logging of environment variables filter to ensure that only string values are included for keys starting with "VSCODE_".
