Version 0.0.54

Summary

This release introduces stricter breakpoint requirements and implements automatic step-over behavior for capture actions to improve the reliability of variable inspection during debugging.

Breaking Changes

Mandatory variable field for all breakpoints

  • All breakpoints now require a variable field (previously variableFilter was optional)
  • Use variable: "variableName" to focus on a single exact variable name (case-sensitive)
  • Use variable: "*" to opt into capture-all mode (auto-captures up to captureMaxVariables locals)
  • This change affects both startDebugSessionWithBreakpoints and resumeDebugSession tools

Schema changes:

  • variableFilter (array) → variable (string)
  • Matching is now simple string equality instead of list membership
  • No regex evaluation

New Features

Automatic step-over for capture actions

Capture actions (captureAndContinue and captureAndStopDebugging) now automatically perform a single step-over (F10 / DAP next) before capturing variables. This solves the common problem where breakpoints placed on assignment lines would capture pre-assignment values instead of the expected post-assignment values.

  • Applied when autoStepOver is not explicitly set
  • Can be disabled by setting autoStepOver: false
  • Enhanced with explicit autoStepOver: true for before/after variable snapshots

Improvements

  • Updated all documentation, examples, and test fixtures to reflect the new variable field requirement
  • Improved error messages to guide users toward the correct schema
  • Enhanced configuration descriptions to clarify capture-all mode (variable: "*")
  • Updated VS Code quick-insert command to prompt for single variable name or *

Documentation Updates

  • README.md: Updated breakpoint examples and usage instructions
  • agents.md: Revised variable filtering semantics documentation
  • package.json: Updated tool descriptions and schema definitions for both Language Model Tools

Technical Details

Modified files include:

  • src/BreakpointDefinition.ts: Updated interface with new variable field
  • src/session.ts: Implemented default step-over logic for capture actions
  • src/extension.ts: Updated VS Code command prompts for new schema
  • src/stopInfoMarkdown.ts: Updated variable display logic
  • src/resumeDebugSessionTool.ts: Applied new schema to resume operations
  • All test files updated to use new variable field instead of variableFilter
