Month 2025-11: Delivered a focused enhancement to the debugging capabilities in wolfpld/tracy by extending the GetDebugInfoDescriptor API to accept a filename parameter, enabling richer context for diagnostics and faster issue isolation. A signature fix was applied to support the new parameter (commit 10b5f0d87833bccbe50caa8e606c495d737663ee). This work improves traceability, reduces debugging time for filename-scoped scenarios, and strengthens API design with backward-compatible considerations where applicable.
