Thanks for reaching out. I’ve added screenshot placeholders for each feature (clearly labeled) and bundled everything—features, code samples, capture tips, references—into one Word document:

• [VS2026_Debugging_Features_with_Code_and_Screenshots.docx]() [microsofta...epoint.com] It includes ready-to-run snippets for:

1. AI‑Assisted Exception Analysis (JSON shape mismatch)
2. Inline Condition Insights (compound condition evaluation)
3. Smarter Breakpoints & Troubleshooter (conditional breakpoint + tracepoint)
4. IEnumerable Visualizer + LINQ Copilot (collections + LINQ filter)
5. Parallel Stacks with AI Summaries (multi‑task CPU work)
6. Inline Return Values (observe return value inline)
7. Breakpoint Groups (separate Scenario A/B flows)
8. Async & Blazor Debugging (async throw + Blazor component)
9. Profiler & Debugger Agents (hotspot vs. optimized StringBuilder)
10. Performance Boost (simple app for faster F5 loop)
