Research direction

Start by reading the tdbg entry point and the sandboxed Lua function behavior described in the linked box.schema.func_create documentation. Determine how tdbg currently handles ordinary Lua functions and what support is needed for sandboxed ones. Done means users can debug sandboxed Lua functions with tdbg; the issue currently provides no test path or finalized definition of done.
