A bit more reading and I understood how dumb the question is. I'd like to validate if my current understanding is correct.
V8 is more than the shell binary that comes with the build. V8 provides extensive C++ APIs to compile Javascript source code from other programs (usually termed as embedding V8). So, to enable chrome devtools as debugging front-end I have to write a program (C++ wrapper or such) that communicates through web-sockets, debugging-protocol messages back and forth from the front-end to v8. Or did I get it completely twisted? If it did make sense, is there a project that has already implemented such standalone program that statically links to V8 and exposes a remote-debugging session? If nothing like that exists I'd like to pursue that direction and publish a simple project that spins up a V8 instance and starts a chrome remote-debugging session. Full-stack developer here, with almost no experience working with system software. Please let me know if I got it all completely wrong.
