docs: point the self-debugging research at the shipped ZDebug package - #186
Merged
Conversation
The feasibility study still spoke of the debugger as a package that was expected to exist, and its roadmap listed work that has since landed there. - name ZDebug as the implementation, from the intro, the README's debugging section and the roadmap - mark the memoized per-op_array decision as shipped (ZDebug's OpArrayGate), leaving the compiler-option gating and the NOP strip-back as sketches - narrow the open debugger-side list to the async break command, the EXT_STMT-vs-ticks benchmark and the generator/fiber stepping experiment - add the zend_ast_process per-file EXT_STMT hook to the z-engine follow-ups Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_0153cGVE6d7kFaNcyiyY4G9q

docs/self-debugging.mdstill spoke of the debugger as a package that was expected to live somewhere else, and its roadmap listed work that has since landed in ZDebug. This actualizes the three places where the study has been overtaken by its own implementation.OpArrayGate. The compiler-option gating and theNOPstrip-back stay sketches.breakcommand overCore::setInterruptHandler(), the EXT_STMT-vs-ticks benchmark, and the generator/fiber stepping experiment. The z-engine follow-up candidates are unchanged except for adding azend_ast_processhook for per-fileEXT_STMTemission — and the leaner statement-hook fast path stays listed, sinceOpCodeHook::handle()still runsdebug_backtrace()per hit.The README's self-debugging section also now links ZDebug next to the research it came from.
