[Python] vscode python debugger hangs for ever

Recently my VSCode is out of work. When I choose Python Debugger: Debug Python File from the upper-right drop-down menu, the TERMINAL panel will show the command line of starting Python debugger like:

cd /Users/me/Projects/kiwi ; /usr/bin/env /Users/me/miniconda3/bin/python /Users/me/.vscode/extensions/ms-python.debugpy-2025.4.1-darwin-arm64/bundled/libs/debugpy/adapter/../../debugpy/launcher 49633 -- /Users/me/Projects/kiwi/test.py

then it hangs there for ever. If I choose 'Run Python File', it works fine.

The environment:

MacOS Sequoia 15.3.2
Python v3.12.9
VSCode Version: 1.98.2
VSCode plugins: Pylance 2025.3.2, Python 2025.2.0, Python Debugger 2025.4.1, Vim 1.29.0


test.py:

import os

print(os.getcwd())


I am not debugging with launch.json, so it is irrelevant. Any advice on how to get VSCode back to normal is very much appreciated.
