Description

Explore how `miden-debug` can read older package debug-info versions while `Processor` remains tied to the latest VM/package format. We should clarify whether compatibility belongs in the debugger, package decoding, or a separate versioned adapter layer.

Research direction

Look at the package decoding logic in the codebase, likely in a module like `src/package.rs` or `src/debug_info.rs`. Examine how debug info is currently read and the versioning scheme. Determine where to add version detection and adaptation logic, then test with older debug info files to ensure backward compatibility.
