LGTM! The extended debug logging improvements look good and will help with troubleshooting AL-Go workflows. The changes appear well-structured and maintain backward compatibility.

One more iteration is needed perhaps.

Release notes are currently missing.

• [nitpick] Variable naming is inconsistent with other path variables ($GitHubHelperPath, $ReadSettingsModule); consider renaming $debugLoggingModule to $DebugLoggingModule for consistency.

$debugLoggingModule = DownloadHelperFile -url 'https://raw.githubusercontent.com/microsoft/AL-Go-Actions/main/.Modules/DebugLogHelper.psm1' -folder $tmpFolder

• New debug helper functions (OutputDebugFunctionCall, OutputGroupStart, etc.) are introduced here but there are no unit tests covering them; consider adding tests to validate their behavior.

• The module attempts to export a variable debugLoggingEnabled, but this variable is never defined; either declare and initialize debugLoggingEnabled or remove it from Export-ModuleMember.
