Description
Hello!
Earlier today I was trying to benchmark some code, and used `flutter run --start-paused --profile`.
All is well and the app is indeed starting paused... But I couldn't find a way to resume the application.
I only saw the following tabs:
And after searching for a while, I don't think any of them enables to resume the application.
I ultimately found a workaround, which is to also connect the app to VScode using "attach to Dart process" and pasting the vm-service URI there. But this feels like a redundant extra step.
Did I miss something maybe? I swear we could do this before 😛

Research direction
Reproduce the issue with `flutter run --start-paused --profile` and inspect the DevTools tabs shown in the report. Trace how DevTools connects to a paused app and compare the available controls with the expected resume and breakpoint actions. Done means users can resume the app and place or remove breakpoints without attaching a second debugger.
