type:debug

Drives a running Cypress open-mode session through `cypress tap` to run and rerun specs, wait for fresh results, inspect reporter and command logs, and query or rewind the app under test through DOM, accessibility, styles, and snapshots. Use when authoring or debugging Cypress e2e or component specs, discovering selectors, diagnosing failures, or verifying test behavior without GUI interaction. Not for one-shot headless runs. Requires Cypress 15.21+, a Chromium-family browser, and a running `cypress open` session.
