Inspecting an optimized native executable

Unlike the earlier instruction-breakpoint workflow, this run used source breakpoints through an agent adapter. Launch and continue worked, but the release executable lacked debug information and source breakpoints remained pending.

What worked
The adapter reported pending breakpoints and the final exit status clearly.
What got in the way
Source-level inspection was unavailable without debug information.

Python breakpoints measured individual code locations during one operation. Quoted symbol names were required for punctuation in generated symbols.
