Troubleshooting Decision Tree
How to move from symptom to bounded next action.
Start with scope: all users, one route, one identity, one dependency, one edition, or one release.
Source boundary
Source boundary: AutoCore current main 7a504f6e430c16d4fcb03ebdea3cc3fb7816df60, checked against immutable v1.0.0-rc.1 at 9edfb109f44cc80385784c694b96392cfc04e70f.
First separate reachability, readiness, authorization, data correctness, derived-state freshness, external-provider response, and release drift. Then select the lowest-risk evidence source and avoid mutations until the class is known.
| Check | Source-backed expectation |
|---|---|
| Scope | If two independent signals conflict, preserve the evidence and escalate rather than forcing convergence. |
| Evidence | Use placeholders, timestamps, release identity, route, status, and request ID where relevant. |
| Safe action | git status --short |
| Stop condition | Unknown authorization, destructive impact, secret exposure, or conflicting evidence. |
Verification
Run the safe check, record its result, and compare the outcome with the documented contract. If the result depends on external configuration or provider availability, mark it as configuration-dependent rather than claiming a product guarantee.
git status --short
Safety boundary
Examples are non-production and use placeholders. Do not deploy, reset, force a migration, create secrets, activate providers, replay sensitive work, or expose private data from this page.
