+A new filtering option has been added to the `Step Filtering` preferences to enable __Statement-Level Stepping__. 
+When enabled, the debugger skips intermediate bytecode instructions within a single statement and suspends only at the next executable source statement.

+
+This is particularly useful for multi-line statements, where stepping would otherwise pause multiple times due to intermediate operations. 
+By filtering out these intermediate steps, the debugger provides a smoother and more source-aligned stepping experience.
