Description

Feature Description:

The message specification for the debug adapter protocol has a property known as showUser which is used to display notifications to end-users in the event of an error from a request.

At the moment, the framework does not have handling for such a property nor does it display notifications to end-users similarly to vscode. We should similarly add support for showUser and properly handle displaying notifications to end-users in the event of errors.

Additional Information

Contributor guide

Research direction
Study the Debug Adapter Protocol specification for the 'showUser' property, then examine the existing error handling and notification system in Theia to implement the feature.
