See runtime state a console.log cannot reach — set real breakpoints, step, and dump the scope chain of a paused Node/TypeScript process. Use on "set a breakpoint", "inspect runtime state", "console.log isn''t enough", "step through this", "what''s in this closure at runtime", "attach a debugger". Not a logging or observability-setup workflow.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Node Inspect Debugger ## Overview `console.log` is a guess with a print statement attached — you have to already suspect *where* to look and *what* to print. A breakpoint inverts that: you stop the world at a line and read every local and closure variable in the frame, walk the call stack, and evaluate expressions in the paused context. When the bug lives in state a log can't cheaply reach — a closure captured three calls ago, a paused async frame, the Electron main process, the internals of a long-lived WebSocket server — the inspector is the tool. This skill is the **TOOL** half of a pair; the **METHOD** is `systematic-debugging` (its Phase 1 "gather evidence" and Phase 3 "test one variable" are exactly when you reach for a breakpoint). ## When to Use Reach for the inspector when the state you need is expensive or impossible to log: - **The dashboard server** (`packages/server`, TypeScript run directly via the native loader, or jiti on the `PI_DASHBOARD_TS_LOADER=jiti` opt-in) — request handlers whose failure depends on accumulated in-memory state. …

How to install
mdr add blackbelttechnology/pi-agent-dashboard/node-inspect-debugger@sha256:b9d3b820fab75a6fThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261006.73d74b6, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
