+Watch expressions created from the `Variables View` now correctly include their evaluation context.
+Previously, creating a watch expression on a field under an object generated only the field name, which led to evaluation failures.
+With this improvement, both the `Watch action` and `Drag and Drop` now generate fully qualified expressions,
+for example `myobj.myfield`, ensuring they evaluate correctly for the current context.
