Research direction

Start by locating the color-detection and useColor handling in the JavaScript source, then inspect existing tests for browser and environment-specific behavior. Define how an explicit useColor: true option should work without window, process, or environment variables, and add coverage showing that forced colors are enabled.

Description

Hi,

I'm developing a Figma plugin and the code runs on a sandbox with no access to window or process so although I'm using Chrome Dev Tools to see the messages, debug is not coloring them.

Also, I can't set environment variables, so I would like to useColor to true, like I'm using Debugger.enable('cva:*');
