Description
like x64dbg does. Basically it sets the page to e.g., not executable and it will trigger an exception when the instruction is executed
We can also then extend this to the module level

Research direction
Start by investigating how the debugger represents breakpoints and page memory permissions, using x64dbg's page-level RWX breakpoint behavior as the reference. Define how an execution exception should be reported when a protected page is executed, and clarify whether module-level support is part of the same change. Done means page-level RWX breakpoints work reliably and their exception behavior is covered.
