Debug code with visual debugging

After each step, the debugger checks all variables in locals() for being CAD objects and displays them with their variable name.

Notes:

• Check that OCP: <port>·DEBUG is visible in the status bar.

  

  Clicking on it toggles between OCP: <port>·DEBUG (visual debugging enabled) and OCP: <port> (visual debugging disabled).

• Planes, locations and axes are also shown — name your contexts in build123d so they appear with meaningful labels.

• The viewer remembers camera position and which variables were unselected in the tree across steps (e.g. to hide temp variables that are out of scope).

• Set breakpoints and step over the code as usual.
