I believe the book focuses on client-side TS apps?

I build a "wrapper" for this (not public, quick&dirty code). Transfer everything that could be logged via websocket to console and output and colorize it like I do it with a node app. Reduces the time that I need to spend in browser for debugging (click, scroll, open trees, etc.), has same format and it saves much time.

I am sure somebody created a good lib for that on github.

Node.js uses the same JavaScript engine as chrome and chrome dev tools can be connected to node to debug and profile.

node --inspect

chrome://inspector

Mostly yes. It touches upon debugging unit tests and server-side code, as well as methodologies applicable to debugging in general, but the practical parts are almost exclusively client-side.
