What did you do?

Trying to launch my project that works fine in 1.24.2 (and for a long time before) from VS Code.

Project is at https://github.com/andrewfstratton/quando

Using Run and Debug with 2 of my configuration (Local and Full) - works if I use 'Cloud' configuration.

Excerpt of config is here:

    {
        "name": "Full",
        "type": "go",
        "buildFlags": "-tags='local full'",
        "request": "launch",
        "mode": "debug",
        "output": "debug",
        "program": ".",
        "env": {},
        "args": [
            "-remote"
        ]
    },
    {
        "name": "Cloud",
        "type": "go",
        "request": "launch",
        "mode": "debug",
        "program": ".",
    },

What did you see happen?

VS Code throws an error and doesn't run.

What did you expect to see?

Expect debugger to run and show something like

N.B. This works fine with 1.24.2 and appears to be triggered by the full/local build tags

I also used command line to build - and the executable works without the build tags set - as soon as I set the build tags, I get an error on trying to run the executable

.\build_full.bat

    set GO111MODULE=on 
    set CGO_ENABLED=1
    go build -v -o quando.exe -ldflags -H=windowsgui -tags=full .
    Note: the quando.exe has been built for UNSAFE usage, i.e. scripts can control the keyboard and mouse

.\quando.exe

    Program 'quando.exe' failed to run: The specified executable is not a valid application for this OS platform.At line:1 char:1

It is a bug?!
