Configuration

Operating system: Arch Linux

PlatformIO Version (platformio --version): PlatformIO Core, version 6.1.14

Description of problem

The debugging scene has evolved in neovim with plugins like nvim-dap, nvim-dap-ui and nvim-dap-virtual-text.

nvim-dap supports the capability to load launch.json configurations in neovim as follows:

      -- Load VS Code launch configurations.
      if vim.fn.filereadable(".vscode/launch.json") then
        require("dap.ext.vscode").load_launchjs(nil, { ["platformio-debug"] = { "c", "cpp", "asm" } })
      end

This makes it possible to benefit from the efforts put into VS Code's debugger integration. However, when I try to execute the launch config PIO Debug, nvim tells me that it does not have the platformio-debug adapter specified. I tried scouring a few repos on PlatformIO GitHub but could not find any mention about this adapter.

I expected that correctly specifying the platformio-debug adapter would allow the debugger integration in PlatformIO as well. Here's how it looks, if you're wondering.
