6. Utils

This section documents the command-line tools that ship with daslang: the live-reload application host, the test framework, the code coverage tool, the lint checker, the package manager, the MCP server for AI coding assistants, the cross-file duplicate-function detector and its AI judge, the runtime profiler and memory-leak tracker, and a cheat sheet for every built-in leak-detection mechanism.
