Description
### Describe the need of your request
When launching our full app for local development with our aspire AppHost, we can debug the dotnet projects, but breakpoints in our JavaScript frontend won’t be hit, even though “with JavaScript debugger” is selected in the aspire run configuration.
### Proposed solution
A fronted added with either an esproj or AddNpmApp is debuggable by default with no extra steps, similar to a csproj.
### Alternatives you've considered
Some additional manual steps that get JavaScript debugging working, with documentation.
### Additional context
_No response_

Research direction
Reproduce the issue with a full app local-development AppHost containing an esproj or AddNpmApp, then inspect how the Aspire run configuration handles “with JavaScript debugger” alongside dotnet projects. Done means JavaScript frontend breakpoints are hit by default without extra steps; otherwise document the manual steps that enable debugging.
