Add --console hidden option for debug test cases. This option allows to put "sh" or something else when the test case hits a bug.

Can you add more information to why and how this would be used.

For example, if you find a testcase which doesn't pass, you can insert sh for interactive debug as below

#!/bin/sh # description: sample test case

good-command suspicious-wrong-command sh # <- add this for interactive debug

Thank you,
