Can someone please write instructions for how to debug Microsoft-365 Apps that works right now (post-August-2021, with EdgeChromium engines)

None of the instructions work anymore. I suspect this is because Edge no longer uses the EdgeHTML engine, and uses the new EdgeChromium engine instead?

Can someone please update this, or write a new, article: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/office/dev/add-ins/testing/debug-with-vs-extension

Or at least reply here and tell us how to debug our code (e.g. console.log and breakpoints for something that runs in Outlook desktop).

Specifically - what exactly is supposed to open port 9222 and how do we tell whatever-that-is (OUTLOOK.EXE? Chromium.dll? Edge? something else???) to do so.
