Research direction

Read the linked Visual Studio C++ dynamic debugging documentation and inspect the repository's cppvsdbg-related entry points to determine the required support surface. Define the affected scenarios and a testable completion target before implementation; the issue currently names no files or tests, and done means supporting the documented dynamic debugging scenarios.
