XDebug stopped working in VSCode after I upgraded my Mac M1 to Monterey 12.6 and VSCode to 1.71.1.
When I start the debug session with "Listen for Xdebug" selected, VSCode just seems to hang, showing the debug control bar with a the pause button (||), the restart, and the stop buttons (no Step In or other buttons enabled). I've tried moving to an earlier version of VSCode (that had worked prior to the upgrades of MacOS and VSCode), uninstalling/reinstalling Xdebug extension, restarting VSCode, and restart MacOS. I've confirmed with NMAP that 9003 is listening when VSCode is hung in debug mode (it stops listening when I stop debugging).
I can get PHP scripts to run in VSCode if I select "Launch currently open script" but then I can use any breakpoints.
Here are the contents of my xdebug.ini:
zend_extension=xdebug
xdebug.mode=debug
xdebug.start_with_request=yes
xdebug.client_port=9000
xdebug.log=/tmp/xdebug.log
