You: Debug my ASP.NET app and find why GetUser returns null

Claude: I'll launch your application and investigate.
        [Calls debug_launch with program path]
        [Calls breakpoint_set at UserService.cs:42]
        [Calls debug_continue]
        [Calls breakpoint_wait with 30s timeout]

        The breakpoint was hit. Let me check the variables.
        [Calls variables_get for current frame]

        I found the issue: the `userId` parameter is an empty string.
        The bug is in the calling code at line 28 where...

You: My app throws NullReferenceException somewhere in checkout. Find it.

Claude: I'll set an exception breakpoint and trigger the flow.
        [Calls debug_launch with program path]
        [Calls breakpoint_set_exception for System.NullReferenceException]
        [Calls debug_continue]
        [Calls breakpoint_wait with include_autopsy: true]

        Caught it! The exception was thrown in OrderService.cs at line 87.
        Here's the full context from the autopsy:
        - cart.Items was null because LoadCart() returned an empty cart
        - The null check at line 85 only checked cart, not cart.Items
