Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by reproducing the issue in the Java debugger: inspect a variable whose string representation exceeds 100 kB and choose “Save Value to File” from the value column. Trace the debugger’s variable-value handling for this action and verify that the saved file contains the complete representation rather than the first 100 kB followed by “...”.
