Both.

I do definitely mean that the code should allow debugging (better if at
different levels of depth) during execution, even with a log system. But
this is (should) be the norm of any programming.

More, I mean that debugging / log should cover not only errors and
warning, but be extended to the values of variables, calls etc. -- in
general, that is, debug / log should be related to everything that can
help a better development of the code avoiding (even potentially)
bugs and inconsistencies.

Obviously what all this means in practice depends a lot on the programming
language, and if a development framework is used or not.

( Incidentally, I believe this can be an example of how to evaluate the
capacity of a programmer: to be capable - based on the programming
language, the eventual framework, the complexity of the project etc. -
to find the most appropriate debug / log level, and consequently choosing
the most appropriate debug / log implementation. )
