STATUS_PORT_NOT_SET
The process has no DebugPort association to remove
A process debug port represents an active native debugging association. This status is returned by a removal path when the process does not currently have such a port. It is a state mismatch, not evidence that the debugger lacks permission to open the process.
Record the process and the exact debug-control operation. A prior detach, target termination, or competing debugger cleanup can remove the association before a later cleanup path runs. Make debugger teardown idempotent by tracking whether attachment actually completed and by serializing detach with process-exit handling instead of issuing unconditional remove requests.
What to inspect
- Track successful attach state before scheduling debug-port removal.
- Correlate detach with process exit and debugger-thread cleanup.
- Separate no-port state from access-denied or invalid-process failures.
