+## Prompt
+
+Continue preparing PR #481 for landing after the prior test and
+documentation commits were pushed. Follow CI and proceed with clear next
+steps without merging or changing remote content unasked.
+
+## Response summary
+
+Followed CI through completion and found both macOS jobs failed because the
+new `skipif` expression returned the `CI=true` environment string. Corrected
+the condition to pass pytest a boolean before evaluating the marker. A
+simulated Darwin-CI run now skips cleanly, and the sequential TCP and UDS
+debugger/tooling suites each pass with 39 passed and 6 skipped.
+
+## Files changed
+
+- `tests/devx/test_debugger.py` - coerce the Darwin-CI skip condition to a
+  boolean.
+
+## Human edits
+
+The human pushed the preceding commits, directed the agent to continue, and
+approved recording this test-only follow-up in Prompt-IO. No direct
+source-line edits were made by the human.

+
+Both macOS jobs failed while evaluating the new `skipif` marker. The
+expression returned the `CI=true` environment string instead of a boolean,
+so pytest evaluated `true` as Python source and raised `NameError` during
+test setup. Coerce `_ci_env` to `bool` so pytest receives a boolean marker
+condition on Darwin CI.
+
+Verification should exercise the condition with `CI=true` and a simulated
+Darwin platform, then rerun the debugger/tooling TCP and UDS suites.
