To find a root cause, you can use a debugging workflow that combines semantic search for symptoms and symbol search to surface strong leads and isolate where issues originate. Describe the observed symptom and any stack traces to begin a one-hop trace across the codebase.

The best way to trace a call chain is by using one-hop and deeper call-trace workflows to map how data travels through the code, allowing you to iteratively trace call chains for rapid diagnosis of the unexpected behavior.

You can identify upstream and downstream sources of failures by performing dependency and impact analysis, which maps data flows and helps engineers understand how failures propagate through the codebase.

Yes, you need access to the codebase context and a configured search index for effective tracing. The debugging workflow presumes this environment is set up to drive analysis using code context and error messages.

Yes, you can debug code flow by describing the observed symptom and any available error messages. The workflow uses semantic and symbol searches to surface strong leads and identify relevant code paths even without a complete stack trace.
