 - `cwd` - The working directory of the program.
 - `env` - The extra environment variables for the program.
+- `stopOnEntry` - Automatically pause the program after launching.
+- `console` - The specified console to launch the program. Defaults to `internalConsole`.
+  - `internalConsole` - VS Code debug console (input stream not supported).
