How can I debug a Sails.js app with node-inspector?

Question

In order to debug with node-inspector I need to start my app with the node --debug command. Up to this point I have only used sails lift to start my Sails.js app, so I am unsure of how to start my app using the normal node command.

sails inspect since Sails v1.0

As of sails v1.0, sails debug is deprecated for newer Node.js, and you should instead use sails inspect.

This is documented at: https://sailsjs.com/documentation/reference/command-line-interface/sails-inspect and is presumably done to match the newer node --inspect interface.
