Description
Feature Overview
Currently, the debugger only tracks a single thread for the BSP. The behavior of other cores hitting breakpoints or exceptions is not strictly defined and is likely silicon dependent for how their context gets initialized.
Solution Overview
The debugger should be made aware of multiple cores and should ensure that all cores get proper exceptions handlers installed.

Research direction
No files or tests are named. Start by locating the BSP's single-thread tracking and the exception-handler installation path, then trace how other cores encounter breakpoints and exceptions. Done means the debugger accounts for multiple cores and installs proper exception handlers for every core.
