**Purpose:** Test script designed to facilitate manual debugging by pausing execution at a controlled point, allowing developers to examine variable states and program flow during testing.
**Architecture:**
- Simple linear execution model with deliberate pause point
- Standalone script with main() entry point pattern
- No external dependencies beyond Python builtins
**Key Functions:**
- `main()` (L6-19): Primary execution function that creates test variables, pauses for user interaction, and demonstrates variable manipulation across the pause boundary
- Entry point check (L21-22): Standard Python idiom for script execution
**Execution Flow:**
1. Initialize test variables: x=10, y=20, result=30, message string (L8-11)
2. Print debug checkpoint message (L13)
3. **Critical pause point**: `input()` call (L15) - intended breakpoint location for debugger attachment
4. Post-pause processing: multiply result by 2 and display final output (L18-19)
**Debug Integration Points:**
- Line 13: Explicit breakpoint suggestion in print statement
- Line 15: User input pause - primary debugging intervention point
- Variables span pause boundary, enabling state inspection before/after
**Use Case:** Manual testing tool for debugger functionality, IDE integration testing, or step-through debugging practice. The pause mechanism allows external tools to attach and inspect program state at a predictable point.
