### DISCLAIMER
> As of 6th March 2025, debugger is still in development. We plan to
merge it behind a staff-only feature flag for staff use only, followed
by non-public release and then finally a public one (akin to how Git
panel release was handled). This is done to ensure the best experience
when it gets released.
### END OF DISCLAIMER
