Description

The current implementation of pipeline breakpointing only works with Pipeline and not (yet) with AsyncPipeline.

We should start planning on how to do this and determine its difficulty. For example, some potential hurdles: E.g. How do we handle two components being run in parallel where one of those components is tagged to have a breakpoint?

Research direction

Start by locating the existing Pipeline breakpointing implementation and the AsyncPipeline execution path. Compare how sequential and parallel components are handled, especially when a parallel component has a breakpoint tag. Done requires an agreed approach that covers AsyncPipeline breakpoint behavior and its parallel-execution hurdles.
