Description
**Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.**
Something that I would like to see implemented is the possibility to remember the breakpoints I set during the last session in an implicit way. For implicit I mean not something like save and load. But something it remember the previous configuration
**Describe the solution you'd like**
Would be nice to have a system that even if I close the session or the server is able to remember and restore the breakpoints of the last session regarding a certain binary. So the idea is to save the breakpoint profile based on full path binary location. A potential conflict could rise from the multi-user aspect of gdb-gui. In the sense that if two users debug the same binary in the same folder there could conflicts in the breakpoint profile. I would consider this case realistically remote and unlikely.
I would take charge of this PR in case. (Not sure when)

Research direction
No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by tracing how gdbgui currently creates, applies, and clears breakpoints across a session, then identify the persistence boundary; done means a binary-specific breakpoint profile is restored after restart and the multi-user conflict behavior is explicitly decided.
