Description

If we edit a register value from the register widget, its display is updated immediately. However, if we do the edit using the Python API or the adapter console, the changes are not reflected in the register widget. Also, if the changed register is the program counter or stack pointer, the display should be updated accordingly as well.

Research direction

Start by tracing how register widget updates are triggered for edits from the widget, then compare that path with register writes through the Python API or adapter console. Done means externally changed registers refresh in the register widget, with corresponding program-counter and stack-pointer display updates.
