The JDWP spec for StackFrame.SetValue currently states:

        "If the thread is a virtual thread then this command can be used to set "
        "the value of local variables in the top-most frame when the thread is "
        "suspended at a breakpoint or single step event. The target VM may support "
        "setting local variables in other cases."

The JDI spec for StackFrame.setValue() has similar wording. In [JDK-8308814](https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8308814) the JVMTI spec clarified support to be for a thread suspended at any event, not just a breakpoint or single step. That same clarification is needed in the JDWP and JDI specs. No implementation changes are needed.
