Fix debug restart to recompile code before restarting

editors/code/README.md

@@ -43,6 +43,10 @@ This extension provides configurations through VSCode's configuration settings.
 
 See [the manual](https://rust-analyzer.github.io/book/editor_features.html#vs-code) for more information on VSCode specific configurations.
 
+### Debugging
+
+When debugging Rust tests, the extension automatically recompiles your code when you press the restart button (⟳). This ensures you're always debugging the latest version of your code after making changes. The compilation runs in the background and a notification will appear while it's in progress.
