Everything.

list all debug functions, and list and note any differences if any to debug functions in the other 4 builds

A build of the PlayStation 3 version dating back to June 3rd, 2016, was dumped on January 18, 2024, following an auction. Though it has the build date of June 3rd, the GFD Engine says it's a build dated to May 24, 2016. It is the master debug of the Japanese build, with a lot of debug functions.

General Differences#

Unlike the previous debug builds, this build doesn't have the shortcuts on the title screen.
Igor model isn't present in the Velvet Room field.

General Debug#

If the protagonist is not named by the player, Joker's name will be set as 主人公主人公 (Shujinko Shujinko), which translates to "Protagonist Protagonist". This still happens in the final game if the player isn't named.
When skipping to different parts of the game using the main menu, most phantom thieves are set to a default level of 34, besides Haru, Futaba, and Akechi, who are set at level 45, 35, and 54 respectively. During the Kaneshiro arc, the default level is 25, and during the Madarame arc, the default level is 15.
