Research direction

Start by reproducing the Maven JUnit/Cucumber debug run in VS Code using the provided Scanner input and Debug Console output. Investigate how the debug session handles standard input and the reported unrecognized evaluate request; done means documenting the supported input workflow or confirming and clearly reporting the limitation.
