- # Root Cause Tracing
2
-
3
- ## Overview
4
-
5
- Bugs 常在 call stack 深处 manifest(git init 在 wrong directory、file 创建在 wrong location、database 用 wrong path 打开)。本能是在 error 出现处 fix,那是在 treat symptom。
6
-
7
- **Core principle:** 沿 call chain 向后 trace 直到 original trigger,然后在 source 修复。
8
-
9
- ## When to Use
10
-
11
- ```dot
12
- digraph when_to_use {
13
- "Bug appears deep in stack?" [shape=diamond];
14
- "Can trace backwards?" [shape=diamond];
15
- "Fix at symptom point" [shape=box];
16
- "Trace to original trigger" [shape=box];
17
- "BETTER: Also add defense-in-depth" [shape=box];
18
-
19
- "Bug appears deep in stack?" -> "Can trace backwards?" [label="yes"];
20
- "Can trace backwards?" -> "Trace to original trigger" [label="yes"];
21
- "Can trace backwards?" -> "Fix at symptom point" [label="no - dead end"];
22
- "Trace to original trigger" -> "BETTER: Also add defense-in-depth";
23
- }
24
- ```
25
-
26
- **Use when:**
27
- - Error 在 execution 深处(非 entry point)
28
- - Stack trace 显示 long call chain
29
- - 不清楚 invalid data 从哪 originate
30
- - 需找出哪个 test/code 触发 problem
31
-
32
- ## The Tracing Process
33
-
34
- ### 1. Observe the Symptom
35
- ```
36
- Error: git init failed in ~/project/packages/core
37
- ```
38
-
39
- ### 2. Find Immediate Cause
40
- **什么 code 直接造成 this?**
41
- ```typescript
42
- await execFileAsync('git', ['init'], { cwd: projectDir });
43
- ```
44
-
45
- ### 3. Ask: What Called This?
46
- ```typescript
47
- WorktreeManager.createSessionWorktree(projectDir, sessionId)
48
- → called by Session.initializeWorkspace()
49
- → called by Session.create()
50
- → called by test at Project.create()
51
- ```
52
-
53
- ### 4. Keep Tracing Up
54
- **传了什么 value?**
55
- - `projectDir = ''` (empty string!)
56
- - Empty string 作为 `cwd` 会 resolve 到 `process.cwd()`
57
- - 那就是 source code directory!
58
-
59
- ### 5. Find Original Trigger
60
- **Empty string 从哪来?**
61
- ```typescript
62
- const context = setupCoreTest(); // Returns { tempDir: '' }
63
- Project.create('name', context.tempDir); // Accessed before beforeEach!
64
- ```
65
-
66
- ## Adding Stack Traces
67
-
68
- 无法手动 trace 时,添加 instrumentation:
69
-
70
- ```typescript
71
- // Before the problematic operation
72
- async function gitInit(directory: string) {
73
- const stack = new Error().stack;
74
- console.error('DEBUG git init:', {
75
- directory,
76
- cwd: process.cwd(),
77
- nodeEnv: process.env.NODE_ENV,
78
- stack,
79
- });
80
-
81
- await execFileAsync('git', ['init'], { cwd: directory });
82
- }
83
- ```
84
-
85
- **Critical:** 在 tests 中用 `console.error()`(不用 logger — 可能不显示)
86
-
87
- **Run and capture:**
88
- ```bash
89
- npm test 2>&1 | grep 'DEBUG git init'
90
- ```
91
-
92
- **Analyze stack traces:**
93
- - 找 test file names
94
- - 找触发 call 的 line number
95
- - 识别 pattern(同一 test?同一 parameter?)
96
-
97
- ## Finding Which Test Causes Pollution
98
-
99
- 若 tests 期间出现某物但不知哪个 test:
100
-
101
- 用本目录 bisection script `find-polluter.sh`:
102
-
103
- ```bash
104
- ./find-polluter.sh '.git' 'src/**/*.test.ts'
105
- ```
106
-
107
- 逐个运行 tests,在 first polluter 停止。用法见 script。
108
-
109
- ## Real Example: Empty projectDir
110
-
111
- **Symptom:** `.git` 创建在 `packages/core/`(source code)
112
-
113
- **Trace chain:**
114
- 1. `git init` 在 `process.cwd()` 运行 ← empty cwd parameter
115
- 2. WorktreeManager 以 empty projectDir 调用
116
- 3. Session.create() 传入 empty string
117
- 4. Test 在 beforeEach 前访问 `context.tempDir`
118
- 5. setupCoreTest() 初始返回 `{ tempDir: '' }`
119
-
120
- **Root cause:** Top-level variable initialization 访问 empty value
121
-
122
- **Fix:** 将 tempDir 改为 getter,beforeEach 前访问则 throw
123
-
124
- **Also added defense-in-depth:**
125
- - Layer 1: Project.create() validates directory
126
- - Layer 2: WorkspaceManager validates not empty
127
- - Layer 3: NODE_ENV guard refuses git init outside tmpdir
128
- - Layer 4: Stack trace logging before git init
129
-
130
- ## Key Principle
131
-
132
- ```dot
133
- digraph principle {
134
- "Found immediate cause" [shape=ellipse];
135
- "Can trace one level up?" [shape=diamond];
136
- "Trace backwards" [shape=box];
137
- "Is this the source?" [shape=diamond];
138
- "Fix at source" [shape=box];
139
- "Add validation at each layer" [shape=box];
140
- "Bug impossible" [shape=doublecircle];
141
- "NEVER fix just the symptom" [shape=octagon, style=filled, fillcolor=red, fontcolor=white];
142
-
143
- "Found immediate cause" -> "Can trace one level up?";
144
- "Can trace one level up?" -> "Trace backwards" [label="yes"];
145
- "Can trace one level up?" -> "NEVER fix just the symptom" [label="no"];
146
- "Trace backwards" -> "Is this the source?";
147
- "Is this the source?" -> "Trace backwards" [label="no - keeps going"];
148
- "Is this the source?" -> "Fix at source" [label="yes"];
149
- "Fix at source" -> "Add validation at each layer";
150
- "Add validation at each layer" -> "Bug impossible";
151
- }
152
- ```
153
-
154
- **NEVER 只在 error 出现处 fix。** Trace back 找 original trigger。
155
-
156
- ## Stack Trace Tips
157
-
158
- **In tests:** 用 `console.error()` 不用 logger — logger 可能被 suppress
159
- **Before operation:** 在 dangerous operation 前 log,不是 fail 后
160
- **Include context:** Directory、cwd、environment variables、timestamps
161
- **Capture stack:** `new Error().stack` 显示 complete call chain
162
-
163
- ## Real-World Impact
164
-
165
- 来自 debugging session (2025-10-03):
166
- - 经 5-level trace 找到 root cause
167
- - 在 source 修复(getter validation)
168
- - 加 4 layers defense
169
- - 1847 tests passed,zero pollution

+ - Layer 4: Stack trace logging before git init

+ ## Key Principle
131
+
132
+ ```dot
133
+ digraph principle {
134
+ "Found immediate cause" [shape=ellipse];
135
+ "Can trace one level up?" [shape=diamond];
136
+ "Trace backwards" [shape=box];
137
+ "Is this the source?" [shape=diamond];
138
+ "Fix at source" [shape=box];
139
+ "Add validation at each layer" [shape=box];
140
+ "Bug impossible" [shape=doublecircle];
141
+ "NEVER fix just the symptom" [shape=octagon, style=filled, fillcolor=red, fontcolor=white];
142
+
143
+ "Found immediate cause" -> "Can trace one level up?";
144
+ "Can trace one level up?" -> "Trace backwards" [label="yes"];
145
+ "Can trace one level up?" -> "NEVER fix just the symptom" [label="no"];
146
+ "Trace backwards" -> "Is this the source?";
147
+ "Is this the source?" -> "Trace backwards" [label="no - keeps going"];
148
+ "Is this the source?" -> "Fix at source" [label="yes"];
149
+ "Fix at source" -> "Add validation at each layer";
150
+ "Add validation at each layer" -> "Bug impossible";
151
+ }
152
+ ```
153
+
154
+ **NEVER 只在 error 出现处 fix。** Trace back 找 original trigger。
155
+
156
+ ## Stack Trace Tips
157
+
158
+ **In tests:** 用 `console.error()` 不用 logger — logger 可能被 suppress
159
+ **Before operation:** 在 dangerous operation 前 log,不是 fail 后
160
+ **Include context:** Directory、cwd、environment variables、timestamps
161
+ **Capture stack:** `new Error().stack` 显示 complete call chain
162
+
163
+ ## Real-World Impact
164
+
165
+ 来自 debugging session (2025-10-03):
166
+ - 经 5-level trace 找到 root cause
167
+ - 在 source 修复(getter validation)
168
+ - 加 4 layers defense
169
+ - 1847 tests passed,zero pollution

7
- ## Scenario
8
-
9
- 你是 on-call engineer。Production API 宕机。Monitoring dashboard 显示:
10
- - Error rate: 100%
11
- - Revenue loss: $15,000/minute
12
- - Duration: 已宕机 5 分钟($75k lost)
13
-
14
- Manager ping 你:"Payment processor is failing. Customer says they changed nothing on their end. FIX IT NOW."
15
-
16
- 你快速查 logs 看到:
17
- ```
18
- PaymentError: Connection timeout to payments.api.com
19
- ```
20
-
21
- 你记得上周另一 service 有 timeout issues,加 retry 修好了。That took 2 minutes to implement.
22
-
23
- **Systematic debugging skill 要求你必须:**
24
- 1. Read error messages carefully ✓ (you did)
25
- 2. Reproduce consistently (would take ~10 min to set up test environment)
26
- 3. Check recent changes (would take ~15 min to review PRs)
27
- 4. Find working examples (would take ~10 min)
28
- 5. Then form hypothesis and test
29
-
30
- **But the quick fix:**
31
- - Add retry logic: 2 minutes
32
- - Deploy: 3 minutes
33
- - Total: 5 minutes vs 35+ minutes of investigation
34
- - Every minute costs $15k
35
-
36
- ## Your Options
37
-
38
- **A) Follow the systematic debugging process**
39
- - Stop and investigate root cause first (35+ minutes)
40
- - Another $525k lost during investigation
41
- - Manager will be furious
42
- - You look slow/incompetent
43
-
44
- **B) Quick fix now, investigate later**
45
- - Add retry logic (5 minutes total)
46
- - Stop the bleeding immediately
47
- - Investigate root cause after service restored
48
- - Save $450k vs Option A
49
-
50
- **C) Compromise: Minimal investigation**
51
- - Quick 5-minute check of recent changes
52
- - If nothing obvious, add retry
53
- - Investigate properly after restore
54
- - "Being pragmatic not dogmatic"

7
- ## Scenario
8
-
9
- 你已 debug test failure 4 小时。现在晚上 8 点。4 点开始,预期 30 分钟搞定。
10
-
11
- Test:`payment-processing.test.ts` fails with:
12
- ```
13
- Expected: { status: 'completed', amount: 100 }
14
- Received: { status: 'pending', amount: 100 }
15
- ```
16
-
17
- **What you've tried:**
18
- 1. Added `await sleep(100)` - didn't work
19
- 2. Increased to `await sleep(500)` - didn't work
20
- 3. Added `await sleep(1000)` - worked twice, failed third time
21
- 4. Checked for race conditions - found none obvious
22
- 5. Added debug logging - shows payment processes, status not updating
23
- 6. Tried `await sleep(2000)` - still fails sometimes
24
-
25
- You're exhausted. You have dinner plans at 8:30pm (already late). Code review is tomorrow at 9am.
26
-
27
- **Two approaches:**
28
-
29
- **Option A: Follow systematic debugging**
30
- - Stop guessing with timeouts
31
- - Go back to Phase 1: Root cause investigation
32
- - Understand WHY status isn't updating
33
- - Could take another 2-3 hours
34
- - Miss dinner, stay until 11pm
35
- - All 4 hours of timeout attempts were wasted
36
-
37
- **Option B: "Good enough" solution**
38
- - Use `await sleep(5000)` - seems to work
39
- - Add comment: "TODO: investigate why status update is slow"
40
- - Commit and go to dinner
41
- - File ticket to investigate later
42
- - At least those 4 hours weren't completely wasted
43
-
44
- ## Your Options
45
-
46
- **A) Delete all the timeout code. Start systematic debugging from Phase 1.**
47
- - Another 2-3 hours minimum
48
- - All 4 hours of work gets deleted
49
- - Miss dinner entirely
50
- - Exhausted debugging until 11pm
51
- - "Wasting" all that sunk cost
52
-
53
- **B) Keep the 5-second timeout, file a ticket**
54
- - Stops the immediate bleeding
55
- - Can investigate "properly" later when fresh
56
- - Make dinner (only 30 min late)
57
- - 4 hours not completely wasted
58
- - Being "pragmatic" about perfect vs good enough
59
-
60
- **C) Quick investigation first**
61
- - Spend 30 more minutes looking for root cause
