AiDebugCategory

Remarks

Unreal's numbered categories, and the numbering is the feature. Its gameplay debugger is one key that opens one overlay and then digits that turn parts of it on and off, and it is the most-used AI feature in that engine because the alternative — a menu of checkboxes somewhere else — is a thing you stop doing while chasing a bug.

⚠ Flags rather than a mode. "The plan and the senses, but not the blackboard" is the ordinary request; an enum would make every combination a member and the useful ones the ones nobody thought of.
