Description

Obfuscated variables are not made readable using the available inline source map.

With `pathMappings` configured, breakpoints in VSCode work, but the variables values aren't visible in the editor on mouse hover, and the "variables" pane in the "run and debug" pane only shows the obfuscated variables without any useful names.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the issue in VS Code with pathMappings and the available inline source map, then trace how mapped names are used for breakpoints versus variable display. Done means hover values and the Run and Debug variables pane show useful, non-obfuscated names instead of only the obfuscated variables.
