Modern Web Debugging
summary
DevTools now maps bundled output back to original TypeScript via version‑3 source maps, shows authored code first in stack traces (hiding ~236 frames by default), and supports manual ignores and build‑tool flags so you don’t step into node_modules; about 32 tabs hide features under More Tools. Live demos include override headers and response mocking (create/edit JSON to unblock CORS) and an emulate focus page option to inspect transient UI states.
