Improving Windows debuggers from the inside out
summary
Replaces brittle one-off debugger extensions with an XML-driven natvis visualizer plus a shared debugger data model and the dx command that expose typed fields as sortable, link-queryable tables. The system makes debugger outputs composable across user/kernel, live/dump scenarios, consolidates many old extensions into a single engine, and adds tab completion; the built-in data model already produces clickable, sortable module and stack views rather than text-only dumps.
