Research direction

Start in the Debugger view's active-stack display and trace how function variable names are obtained and refreshed after a rename. Verify the behavior while the debugger is active: renaming a function variable in the binary view should update its corresponding name in the memory view.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

enhancement Impact: Low UI

When looking at the active stack in the Debugger view of memory, it shows the corresponding function variable names where applicable. If a variable gets renamed while the debugger is active, its name in the Debugger view of the stack should be updated accordingly.
