Description

It would be neat if Rebugger had a KSP artifact that processed annotations on compostable functions to automatically insert the necessary Rebugger function calls within the function body - is something like that even possible?

The annotation could have parameters to control what inputs are tracked by Rebugger (function arguments, state objects within the function body, or both)

Research direction

Start from the existing Rebugger function calls referenced in the issue and assess how a KSP artifact or compiler plugin could process annotations on composable functions. Define how annotation parameters select function arguments and in-body state, and consider the request complete only when the implementation scope and expected generated behavior are clear.
