any suggestions on where to check for

AWS_PROFILE

being set in env variables when app is local? our team occasionally runs it which of course doesn't work . I added it to the top of main, but the debug stack get started prior to the check I added

You can check in the

debugApp

callback in ur index. For example:

export function debugApp(app) {
  // Do your check here maybe?

  new DebugStack(app, "debug-stack");
}

Here r more details on this https://docs.serverless-stack.com/constructs/DebugStack#examples

We have a few devs on running sst within their own orgs, (we also have services on our root org), so we get questions like "why is debug erroring out", and 99% of the time the env is not set
