If Dev is missing source maps or has wrong cwd, suggest the precise change so stepping lands on my TypeScript sources. Ladder L2

Debug sessions often fail to stop where I expect across projects.

Across several repos I waste time starting debug sessions that either attach to the wrong process, use wrong sourcemaps, or restart with a different build artifact. Where is the recurring mistake — my launch configs, build outputs, or the way I start processes — and what consistent changes to my workflow or repo config will make debug sessions reliably hit my breakpoints?

Every task here came from the work, not from a feature list — which is why the prompts name what you want done and never the button that does it. The tool changes; the work does not.
