Thanks for your extensive write-up. PHP's definitely not my thing, but I appreciate your view of the process to iteratively dig (and dig, and dig...) into the details. By the way, if you're looking for instant introspection, changes and carrying on, you should have a look at what you get with Common Lisp. You're able to redefine code on the fly, and continue from where things stopped. This blog post series goes into debugging, specifically with SBCL (one implementation), Emacs and an add-on called Slime. https://malisper.me/category/debugging-common-lisp/ https://malisper.me/category/debugging-common-lisp/
