Research direction
Start with compiletest's debugger ignore logic and the linked pull-request comment, then inspect tests\debuginfo\issue-13213.rs and how cdb results are classified. Reproduce the reported debugger initialization failure and determine the expected reporting behavior; done when initialization failures are no longer silently presented as ignored.
