Debugger itself lives in my repo for now, but the plan is to move it into the monorepo eventually.

Note:
Global mutex -> thread-local change for context is for debugger tests to work, otherwise they step onto each other.
Note
Medium Risk
Thread-local debug stepping replaces a process-wide mutex, which changes behavior when
MOVE_VM_STEPruns concurrently; most code is behinddebuggerbut the tracing refactor affects stepping-enabled tests.Overview
Adds a
debuggerCargo feature across the Move CLI, VM runtime, VM types, and move-unit-test so IDE-style debugging can plug in without affecting default builds.VM stepping and debug hooks are refactored:
DebugContextis a trait (defaultMoveStepDebugContext), the debug module is public, and stepping state moves from a global mutex to thread-local storage so parallel debugger/unit tests can install custom contexts and toggles per worker. New APIs includeset_debug_context,set_debugging_enabled,capture_debug_thread_state, andget_source_locator.Interpreter and values expose debugger-only introspection (
get_frame_locals,load_struct_type, stack depth, public value/container types,Locals::borrow_values).Aptos source mapping resolves modules by name when on-chain addresses differ from local dev addresses, and lists known source files for the IDE.
move-unit-test propagates captured debug thread state into each Rayon thread when the feature is enabled.
