Research direction
Start by locating gdbgui's existing heuristic checks for GDB features and read the linked GDB/MI Support Commands documentation for `-list-feature`. Done means feature detection, including reverse-debugging availability, uses the GDB response instead of guesses; there are no tests or file paths mentioned in the issue.
