Root Cause Tracing

Acerca de

Root Cause Tracing provides a systematic methodology for debugging complex issues that manifest deep within an execution chain. Instead of applying "band-aid" fixes to symptoms, this skill guides users through a structured process of tracing invalid data or states back to their origin. It includes practical techniques for manual tracing, adding instrumentation for stack trace analysis, and identifying test pollution using bisection scripts, ultimately ensuring more robust fixes through layered defense-in-depth validation.
