The first version of Pointbreak released was centered around connecting AI coding assistants to code debuggers. It had deep integration with IDEs via their own debugging interfaces, allowing shared agent-human debugging sessions. It also had top-tier support for DAP (Debug Adapter Protocol) and worked in a headless fashion. It exposed all functionality over MCP.
As it turns out, the direction was good and the product implementation was good, but the real benefit it had was runtime evidence collection in the inner dev loop. Let's examine what that looks like when integrated as an evidence collector for Pointbreak's new Review-shaped feature set.
The code for the historical Pointbreak Debug was proprietary. Any reworking of this is planned to be Apache-2.0 Open Source licensed, just like the rest of this repo is today.
The new Pointbreak will start with an IDE extension for VS Code and VS Code-compatible IDEs. The historical Pointbreak Debug also had a plugin for JetBrains IDEs. We should consider bringing this over eventually, as well.
This issue serves as a tracking issue for this work.
