// Tiny IIFE-wrapped helper for `node:repl`'s inline preview path. Lives
// here (rather than in `repl.ts`) because the deno_node ops we need are
// only reachable from scripts loaded via `core.loadExtScript` -- those
// see the snapshot-time `__bootstrap.core.ops` capture. ES-module
// polyfills like `repl.ts` only see the post-`removeImportedOps` view,
// which doesn't include `op_node_repl_inspector_connect`. See the long
// comment around `loadExtScript` / `op_set_captured_bootstrap` in
// `libs/core/01_core.js`.

/**
 * Create a private V8 inspector session that answers "would this REPL
 * preview expression have observable side effects?" synchronously.
 *
 * The session is dispatched to via raw op calls (not through
 * `node:inspector`'s `Session` class) so we can capture responses and
 * notifications inline rather than waiting on the regular nextTick
 * drain. That matters because:
 *
 *   1. `Runtime.enable` replays `Runtime.executionContextCreated` for
 *      existing contexts synchronously -- we read off the main realm's
 *      contextId in the same tick to pass into `Runtime.evaluate`.
 *   2. `Runtime.evaluate({ throwOnSideEffect: true, ... })` returns
 *      the response synchronously for non-promise expressions, which
 *      keeps the preview path keystroke-fast.
 *
 * The inspector is used purely as a side-effect *oracle* here. The
 * caller still renders the preview value via `vm.Script` so
 * `util.inspect` sees the real JS object (prototype, getters, class
 * info, etc.) rather than the CDP wire shape.
 *
 * Returns `null` if the inspector isn't reachable -- callers fall back
 * to *no* preview rather than to an unprotected `vm.Script` eval.
