    In the next release of the WCA4Z VS Code extension the Welcome screen will not be reopened. However, the underlying problem of the Debug extension causes a restart of the watsonx extension is not yet fixed and we will still recommend not having them active at the same time.

    Can you describe your use case a bit more? Do you want to debug while using the Refactoring Assistant?

    Z Open Debug is not part of the watsonx offering and not supported with it. It modifies the VS code proxy settings and might break the watsonx communication to IBM Cloud or CPD. We recommend you disable Debug when using watsonx and vice versa.

    If you provide is with a compelling business case we could discuss adding it.
