// There can be only one debugger attached to a process at a time, and
// detaching can leave the child process in a weird state for future
// debugging, so the code that attaches to the child process must also
// serve as a proxy for connections from actual debugger clients like
// node-inspector.

// This proxying system requires the child process to be invoked with
// --debug-brk=<port> where <port> is not the same as debugPort, so that
// we can proxy data between <port> and debugPort, as if the child process
// were listening on debugPort (as it did before this commit).

// The first time the server starts, the --debug-brk behavior of pausing
// at the first line of the program is helpful so that the user can set
// breakpoints. When the server restarts, however, that behavior is more
// confusing than helpful, especially since the server can restart
// multiple times in quick succession if the user edits and saves a file
// multiple times. To avoid this confusion, we use the proxy to send a
// continue command to resume execution automatically after restart.

// Itercepting debugger requests, responses, events, etc. has the
// additional benefit of allowing us to print helpful information to the
// console, like notifying the developer that the debugger hit a
// breakpoint, so that there is less confusion when the app is not
// responding to requests.
