Contributor guide
Research direction
Reproduce a debugging session using Firefox Debugger 2.9.1, VS Code 1.51.1, and Windows 10, then inspect the extension's available diagnostics for why the session stops silently. Done means identifying a reproducible cause and making the session start successfully, or documenting actionable failure evidence if the problem cannot be reproduced.
