Root Cause Tracing

Acerca de

Root Cause Tracing provides a structured methodology for debugging complex software errors that surface deep within the call stack. Rather than fixing symptoms at the point of failure, this skill guides developers through the process of traversing the execution history to find the initial source of corruption or invalid logic. It includes practical techniques for manual tracing, instrumentation strategies for rich stack trace capture, and specific workflows for isolating test pollution, ensuring long-term stability through defense-in-depth validation layers.
