Yes, runtime debugging helps to solve a lot of bugs. I was so annoyed with buggy codes generated by AI so at the end I actually developed something not sure similar to your or not:both AI coder and AI debugger two-in-one, a fork of Roo-Code. So it (Zentara-Code) can code and debug it code at the same time in runtime. It automatically set breakpoints, do stack tracing, inspect stack frame variables. As it leverages Debug Adapter Protocol (DAP), it works for any language in VSCode. https://github.com/Zentar-Ai/Zentara-Code
Thank you for the review. I see that currently code assistants do not have access to a lot of tools that a normal software developer has during software development life cycle. Once we enable it, code assistants would be much more smarter. Debugger is one of the tools that code assistants need.

I was frustrated with the buggy code generated by current code assistants. I spend too much time fixing their errors, even obvious ones. If they get stuck on an error, they suggest the same buggy solution to me again and again and cannot get out of the loop. Even LLMs today can discover new algorithms; I just cannot tolerate that they cannot see the errors.So how can I get them out of this loop...

Would it double your codebase? Do you think it would work for a large codebase?
Any new features comparing with existing ones?
