Loading the inspector requires "pausing" before I can hit "resume", which then pauses on first line with --debug-brk option.
test.js
(function(b) {
let a = b+'!';
debugger;
})('test');
$ bode-debug --no-preload --cli --debug-brk test.js

Not a critical component, but a bit redundant to have to pause/resume instead of just resume from debug start.
