Explains how app_debug() works: it displays the app in an opacity:0 iframe with pointer-events:none and executes agent-supplied JavaScript in that sandbox, enabling smoke testing and element-dimension measurement.
release author: The app_debug() tool is pretty neat: it works by displaying the app in a opacity: 0 iframe with pointer-events: none (so it can't be seen or interacted with) and then executing agent-provided JavaScript inside that sandboxed iframe. This means the agent can smoke test that the app is working and even do things like measure the dimensions of different elements.
