Debug
Jalaran Debug runs a debugging session as a method — reproduce, isolate, diagnose, fix — with hypotheses recorded and tested rather than guessed at and forgotten.
Who Debug is for
For the bug you have been chasing for two days, where you have started retrying things you already tried. The value is entirely in the record: an investigation that remembers what it ruled out cannot go round in circles.
What Debug does
Debug imposes the four stages a real investigation has — reproduce it reliably, isolate where it lives, diagnose the actual cause, then fix it — and records hypotheses with their outcomes as you go. That record is the point. Debugging fails when you lose track of what you already eliminated, and after several hours everyone does. Because the ruled-out hypotheses are written down, the root cause is traceable afterwards, which matters when someone asks why the fix works.
- Reproduce, isolate, diagnose and fix stages
- Hypothesis tracking with recorded outcomes
- Root-cause analysis that stays traceable
- Hands off to Code for the fix
How Debug works
Reproduce it reliably
A bug you cannot reproduce is a bug you cannot fix. This stage exists to stop people skipping it.
Isolate
Narrow where the problem lives before theorising about why, which is the step most often skipped.
Track hypotheses
Each theory recorded with its outcome, so an eliminated cause stays eliminated.
Diagnose and hand off the fix
Root cause identified and traceable, with Code available for writing the fix itself.
What Debug does not do
Debug does not execute your code, attach a debugger, read logs automatically or inspect a running process. It is a method and a record, not an instrument — the actual investigation happens in your own tools, and this is where the reasoning lives. AI suggestions are hypotheses to test, not diagnoses; treating one as an answer is precisely the failure the module is structured to prevent.
Common questions
Does it debug my code automatically?
No. It does not run code, attach to a process or read your logs. It structures the investigation and records what you have ruled out — which is the part that fails after hour three.
Why record hypotheses?
Because debugging goes wrong when you lose track of what you already eliminated and start retrying it. Writing them down with outcomes is what stops a long investigation circling.
Are the AI suggestions reliable?
They are hypotheses to test, not diagnoses. Accepting one without testing it is exactly the mistake the four-stage structure exists to prevent.
