The CDP is used to inspect the browser launched by Cypress in order to collect the browser console logs. The project uses chrome-remote-interface, the recommended node module.

Cypress gives the opportunity to connect to the browser from the setupNodeEvents function by listening to before:browser:launch (https://docs.cypress.io/api/plugins/browser-launch-api).

Here is the implementation.

The issue:

After running npx cypress run --browser chrome, the CDP is connected, but after processing the first spec - it disconnects.

Currently, the CPD is reconnecting before each spec - https://github.com/currents-dev/cypress-debugger/blob/feat/console-messages/packages/plugin/src/install.ts#L93.

Why the CDP is disconnecting after each spec file?
