During August 2025, Expensify/Bedrock delivered a feature to automatically attach a debugger for test runs. The implementation reads a configuration file and injects the current process ID to enable debugger attachment automatically, eliminating manual steps and accelerating diagnosis during test execution. This was implemented in commit e66810f3d1f20dfd2f4d0510a104d965ef94fd3b ('Add code to make test debugging easier by auto attaching debugger').
