If you pause the v8 thread using the debug protocol, then no javascript code can run in the v8 thread (this includes the stdin reading code in the readline module). It's not possible to introspect and evaluate expressions in a node repl while node itself is paused. This kind of introspection will need to be done through the same debug protocol that paused it in the first place.
