Expand description
Copy-out debugger snapshots (playground debugger design §5).
Every debugger; statement executed by the GC VM materializes one
DebuggerHit: call frames, named slots, and a bounded projection of the
current heap. A hit holds only strings, integers, and plain vectors — never
a GcRef — so recording cannot root objects or change later GC behavior.
Values are projected by teaching semantics, not by allocation reality
(design §2.4): Integer/Boolean/Null/Builtin are inlined into slots and
parent members with heap_id: None; String/Array/Hash/Closure/Class/
Instance/BoundMethod/Error become heap nodes referenced as ref #id;
CompiledFunction and VM infrastructure are hidden entirely and are not
counted as omitted.
