Problem Description

When setting up JavaScript direct debugging for VS Code (Hermes), the output in the launch.json file when adding a 'Node.js' or 'Node.js: Attach' configuration does not match the expected output in the documentation, as shown below:

Node.js:

    {
        "type": "node",
        "request": "launch",
        "name": "Launch Program",
        "skipFiles": [
            "<node_internals>/**"
        ],
        "program": "${workspaceFolder}\\index.js"
    }

Node.js (Attach):

    {
        "name": "Attach",
        "port": 9229,
        "request": "attach",
        "skipFiles": [
            "<node_internals>/**"
        ],
        "type": "node"
    }

Expected output:

    {
        "name": "Attach",
        "port": 8081,
        "request": "attach",
        "skipFiles": [
            "<node_internals>/**"
        ],
        "outFiles": [
            "${workspaceFolder}/**/*"
        ],
        "type": "node"
    }

After adding the config, I just replaced it with what the expected config was according to the documentation, but not sure why there is a difference in output.

The docs show what you need to set to make it work, not necessarily what (incorrect) config got generated.
