Description
AFAIK debugger visualization output usually don't guarantee output format stability, which as a corollary of #126092, this means that our debuginfo test suite is extremely fragile and prone to breakage from debugger version updates in CI.

Research direction
Start by reading this issue alongside #126092 and examining the debuginfo test suite and its CI debugger-version dependencies. Define which visualization output should remain stable and make the tests resilient to debugger updates; done means routine debugger version changes no longer cause widespread unrelated test failures.
