Description

This is not a critical requirement, since you have the ability to Debug from the start... but it would be just incrementally more useful if you had a command to attach a debugger when you just did a normal start.

Research direction

Start by locating the dashboard's existing Debug-from-start flow and its command entry point. Clarify how an already-running server and its debug port should be selected, then verify that the attach action connects without starting the server again.
