Thank you very much for the pointer to kicad_advanced file and saveRouterDebugLog() I can see in the code all the settings that are valid for kicad_advanced, and I successfully turned on the ShowRouterDebugGraphics and I can now see the decorator and additional information being displayed by pcbnew and pns router. I also looked up where saveRouterDebugLog() was called from, and I see in ROUTER_TOOL::handleCommonEvents that once ShowRouterDebugGraphics is turned on, that key press '0' then dumps the logs to pns.log
I did this and I was able to inspect the pns inner workings. Thank you for these important pointers. Okay - I feel that I have the tools now to start working on the pns code. Thank you to the dev team for the assistance.
