Why is it important to keep local and remote code consistent during Zimbra remote debugging?

Consistency is crucial because the debugger matches breakpoints and variable information between the local IDE and the remote JVM. If JAR files differ, breakpoints may not trigger or may cause incorrect behavior, leading to unreliable debugging results. This ensures that the source code you inspect matches the actual executing bytecode on the server.
