Description

Having to manually enable/disable mods when debugging is extremely tedious, error-prone and may even result in RSI (Repetitive Strain Injury) for a big enough mod list. It would be nice to have SMM assist in the process, similar to how git bisect automatically checks out the commits to test and allows the user to mark them as good/bad. It would also be nice to save a log detailing what mods were present in each test, in case the issue is more complex.

Research direction

Start by tracing the >debugmods Fred command and compare the requested workflow with git bisect. Define how users mark each test good or bad, how mods are enabled between tests, and what the per-test log must contain. Done should be a usable binary-search debugging flow with a saved mod history.
