Have you tried running gdb from a Claude Code or Codex CLI session?
I understand that AI can help with writing, coding, analyzing code bases and summarizing other papers, but going through these myself makes a difference, at least for me. I tried ChatGPT 3.5 when I started and while I got a pile of work done, I had to throw it away at some point because I didn't fully understand it. AI could explain to me various parts, but it's different when you create it.
