Visual Studio’s Debugger Agent just got a serious upgrade — and it’s all about guided, runtime‑aware debugging. Instead of guessing through vague bug reports, the Agent now builds a live mental model of your app, sets intelligent breakpoints, watches your repro in real time, validates (or disproves) its own hypothesis, and even applies the fix once you approve. It’s an interactive loop plugged directly into your running process — perfect for exceptions, logic gaps, and state corruption hunts. If you want fewer “scattershot breakpoints” and more verified fixes, this workflow is worth a look. Read more in the blog: https://is.gd/WtY5MY
