November 2024: Delivered a UI asset enhancement for the debugger to support CCTV debugging. Added a CCTV Camera icon to the debugger resources and wired DebuggerInfoWidget to display it. This improves visual cues for CCTV-related debug data, enabling faster triage and a more consistent UX, while remaining a UI-only change with low risk. No major bugs fixed this month; focus was on UI polish and asset integration.
