Motivation for the change, related issues

The Xdebug getting-started guide is missing the optional PhpStorm settings already documented in examples/xdebug/ide/README.md by merged PR #3075.

Implementation details

Adds a short PhpStorm troubleshooting subsection beneath IDE integration in English, Brazilian Portuguese (pt-BR), French, and Spanish. The localized guides preserve the exact PhpStorm setting labels and their existing English-source comments. It explains when to disable the two forced first-line pauses and the notification for sessions that finish without pausing, while keeping correct path mappings and enabled breakpoints as prerequisites.

Clarifies that when the notification setting is disabled and no breakpoint is hit, PhpStorm executes the script without pausing or establishing a debugging session.

Verified all three setting names and behaviors against JetBrains' current debug settings reference. The notification group is now labeled “Advanced settings” there; the guide includes that label alongside “Settings” from the examples.

Testing Instructions (or ideally a Blueprint)

  • Passed npm exec -- nx format:check --files=â€Ķ for all four changed guides on Node 24.21.0.
  • Compiled all four updated guides with the installed @mdx-js/mdx compiler in Markdown mode.
  • Passed git diff --check and reviewed the complete diff.
  • Verified the JetBrains reference and the examples' PhpStorm heading/link.
  • No unit tests added for this prose-only change. A full documentation-site build was not run.

Announcement handoff and issue status

The announcement post is outside this repository and is not available through the connected WordPress account. Insert the text below at the end of its PhpStorm subsection, before Running Xdebug with PHP-WASM CLI.

PLAYGRD-475 is In Review. Keep it open until this PR is merged and the announcement update is explicitly resolved.


Optional PhpStorm troubleshooting

If PhpStorm pauses on the first line of unmapped files or scripts outside your project, go to Settings > PHP > Debug > Xdebug and disable:

  • Force break at first line when no path mapping specified.
  • Force break at first line when a script is outside the project.

To suppress notifications for requests that do not hit a breakpoint, disable Notify if debug session was finished without being paused under Settings > PHP > Debug > Settings (called Advanced settings in the current JetBrains documentation).

When the notification setting is disabled and no breakpoint is hit, PhpStorm runs the script without pausing or establishing a debugging session.

These optional settings suppress unwanted pauses or notifications. Correct path mappings and enabled breakpoints in the code you want to debug are still required. See JetBrains’ debug settings reference and the PhpStorm examples.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Documentation
    • Added PhpStorm troubleshooting guidance in the developer documentation, including translated versions, for avoiding pauses on unmapped or out-of-project scripts and suppressing notifications when requests do not hit a breakpoint.
    • Clarified that these optional settings do not correct path mappings or configure breakpoints. Linked to JetBrains documentation and Playground examples for further guidance.

📝 Walkthrough

The Xdebug getting-started guide adds PhpStorm troubleshooting guidance in English, Spanish, French, and Brazilian Portuguese. It describes settings for unwanted pauses and notifications, and clarifies that path mappings and breakpoints require separate setup.
