This is new behavior, but I don't know what I changed (if anything), although I'm not sure what the Date below indicates as I didn't take any action to update vscode.
I've been using vscode just fine to debug my flask applications for over a year. Today when I tried to start a new debug session, nothing happens. This means there's no flask process set in the Run and Debug window, and no Python debug terminal started.
The Date might be consistent with when things stopped working for me, though, as I was trying to start debugging with a different repo than I'd been working with.
UPDATE: downgrade to 1.68.1 did not resolve the problem.

I looked at https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/wiki/Terminal-Issues#creating-great-terminal-issues and started tracing using code --log trace. I think this is the relevant trace logs.

I've confirmed tasks.json doesn't exist in either folder, but checking crashplan (my backup system) I don't think this has existed, at least not recently.
I hope someone has some ideas, as I'm stymied.

FWIW, when I downgraded the Python extension to v2022.8.1, the problem is resolved
I saw the following in the log file C:\Users\lking\AppData\Roaming\Code\logs\20220708T145527\exthost1\output_logging_20220708T145531\3-Python.log added whenever I tried to start the flask debugging session.
DAP Server launched with command: c:\Users\lking\Documents\Lou's Software\projects\rrwebapp\rrwebapp\venv\Scripts\python.exe c:\Users\lking\.vscode\extensions\ms-python.python-2022.10.0\pythonFiles\lib\python\debugpy\adapter
And the files in that directory were from 2022-07-08 01:03, which was my clue
