I have checked existing issues, online documentation and the Troubleshooting Guide

i installed Arduino CLI, configured ARDUINO_CONFIG_FILE= to point to customized IDE config file, so both IDE and CLI may use same data folders, and, suddenly, debugging start working. How, why, where was the problem?
P.S. I moved all heavy data folders to disk d: from their default places, so without this variable build-in cli was using default paths and can not find esp32 package. At least this explanation give me Grok.
