Great question. The magic is in the dynamic nature of the breakpoint triggering. If you want to SSH into a CI machine you need to know ahead of time that you want to investigate that machine and pause execution while it's going.

With the debugger, you set conditional rules like - 'if this fails - then trigger debugger and hold machine' - instead of trying to catch lightning in a bottle - it waits for you.

Crazy that a tool like this doesn't already exist. Interested to see how this tool matures and also if it will change the way they write tests and generate test artifacts.
