 - The override file keeps a containerized `dotnet watch` flow for cases where you still want Docker.
 - The development container mounts the workspace into `/workspace` and stores its Couchbase Lite files under `./.docker-data/couchbase-dev` on the host.
 
+Debugging in Docker from VS Code:
+
+- Use the `WorkTracker: Debug in Docker` launch configuration.
+- VS Code brings up the development container with `docker compose`, builds the app in `Debug`, and launches `WorkTracker.dll` under `vsdbg` inside the container.
+- When the app reports that it is listening, VS Code automatically opens Microsoft Edge in browser debug mode against http://localhost:8002.
+- The app remains available at http://localhost:8002 while the debugger is attached.
+- Stopping the debug session runs `docker compose down` for the debug stack.

 Manual development start:
 
 - `docker compose up --build`

 - The base compose file remains production-oriented; the override file is the optional containerized development layer.
 - The first container build takes longer because the dev image installs the .NET debugger.
-- The Dockerfile uses the .NET 9 `*-noble` images so local builds and container builds stay aligned with the SDK available in VS Code.
+- The Dockerfile uses the .NET 10 `*-noble` images so local builds and container builds stay aligned with the SDK available in VS Code.
