app.doScript method, not working when run in Ai 2022 from VSCode

I've posted this question in the Illustrato forum as well. Why does any "app.doScript" scripts fail when run to Ai 2022 from VSCode vs 1.69.1?

The same scripts work to Ai 2020 but our new M1 Macs will not support Ai 2020.

Running the scripts via Keyboard Maestro by way of Applescript they work fine. But I cannot debug any script containing "app.doScript" method from VSCode. The script abruptly ends and AI 2022 locks up and must be force quit.
