Describe the feature you would like

Hi,
Currently, it seems that Foundry (forge) doesn't support debugging verified open-source contracts if their source code isn't present locally. This can be limiting when working with contracts deployed and verified on public networks, especially when the source is available on Etherscan (or similar), but not in my local workspace.

Is there a way to supply the verified source code manually (e.g., via a path or artifact input) so that forge debug can work as expected? If not, would it make sense to support such a feature—perhaps by allowing us to point to a verified source bundle or automatically fetch it?

Thanks for the great work!

@ethever you could use forge clone and run it locally, see
https://getfoundry.sh/forge/reference/forge-clone
https://getfoundry.sh/guides/project-setup/clone-a-verified-contract#clone-a-verified-contract would this work for your scenario?

Please reopen if clone not what you're looking for. Thanks!
