What steps will reproduce the bug?

Run this code with --inspect-brk and inspect it using Chrome DevTools.

const { Worker } = require('worker_threads');

const worker = new Worker('console.log("Worker thread is running")', { eval: true });

console.log('Main thread is running');

process.on('exit', () => {
  console.log('Main thread is exiting');
});
worker.on('exit', (message) => {
  process.exit(); 
});

How often does it reproduce? Is there a required condition?

constantly

What is the expected behavior? Why is that the expected behavior?

What do you see instead?

The worker does not execute and stops

Additional information

It seems that the parent thread's --inspect-brk setting is inherited.

https://nodejs.org/api/worker_threads.html#new-workerfilename-options
According to the documentation, the child threads inherit the parent thread's options by default, so this might be a feature request rather than a bug report.
However, it was working as expected in at least version 22.1.0.

In any case, I want to be able to run --inspect-brk without needing to add additional options to the worker.
