Research direction
Investigate the current debugger implementation in radare2, specifically frame handling and stack trace commands. Look at existing GDB compatible features and consider adding 'up', 'down', and 'frame' commands. Identify relevant source files (e.g., in libr/debug or bin/r2 commands). Check if any prior work exists in linked issues or PRs.
