           Debugging failed after 3 attempts.

I think after the code generation, we can ask the user if they wish to conduct the execution and reflection (step 6), I think some user don't want to run the generated scripts immediately, and some of the senior MLEs maybe just want to look at the generated content and gather some insights.

yes. let me decouple this to two steps and allow users to decide if they need to execute.
