denoland/deno#35738 adds Node.js-compatible inspector activation via SIGUSR1:
on Linux and macOS, sending the signal to a running Deno process starts the
inspector server on the default 127.0.0.1:9229 without pausing execution.

This documents it on the debugging page, as a new "Sending SIGUSR1" subsection
under "Activating the inspector at runtime", covering the no-op behavior when
the inspector is already running, the short startup grace period, coexistence
with Deno.addSignalListener, and Windows not being supported.

The feature shipped in Deno 2.9.2.
