TIL:
You can listen for attribute changes on a DOM element using a MutationObserver.
In my case, I needed to inspect a DOM element during a transient state that changed too quickly to catch manually.
Using DOM breakpoints wasn't helpful since the element was updated too frequently.
The solution was to use a MutationObserver to trigger specifically when a certain attribute changed.

const observer = new MutationObserver(function(mutations) {
  mutations.forEach(function(mutation) {
    if (
      mutation.type === "attributes" &&
      mutation.attributeName === "my-attribute") {
      debugger;
    }
  });
});

observer.observe(element, { attributes: true });
