Description

Studio-only service for plugin debugging — not available in published games. It holds the Plugin instances currently being debugged and parents them into the data model so the debugger can treat stepped scripts as data-model descendants, while keeping them out of serialization and under Studio Explorer visibility control.

Only a Plugin marked as debuggable can be parented here; any other child raises an error. Debugging is opt-in through Studio settings and applies only to local plugins the user placed in their local plugins directory.
