Research direction

The issue is that nullable local variables are incorrectly shown with the 'internal' icon in the Locals window. Investigate the debugger's expression evaluator code in the Roslyn repository, likely in the 'src/Decompiler' or 'src/Debugger' directories, to find where icons are assigned. Look for handling of Nullable<T> types and correct the icon to match the actual accessibility of the variable (e.g., local variable should not be internal).
