When a bug, a crash or unexplained behaviour needs to be traced to its root cause.

The agent is pushed to reproduce the failure first, then shrink the search space step by step until the faulty line is isolated, instead of editing code on a hunch. It covers stack trace and crash dump reading, memory leak hunting, and the extra difficulty of production and distributed systems where you cannot simply attach a debugger. Profilers and tracing tools are treated as evidence sources, not as a last resort.
