SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Diff tracing to understand exact code execution paths by mapping each meaningful line to its effect on UI, data, and events.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Line-by-line path tracing that shows the screen/URL where code runs.
  • Bidirectional tracing: UP to entry points and DOWN to downstream calls.
  • Generate an exportable trace table and a Deep Trace Extension-ready summary.

Quick Start

Provide a PR diff or a target file path to begin tracing and observe a line-by-line execution path.

FAQPage Schema
How do I trace code execution paths from a PR diff?

To trace code execution paths from a PR diff, you provide the diff to generate a line-by-line trace mapping each code line to its effect on UI, data, and events, outputting an exportable table and summary.

What is line-by-line diff tracing for code analysis?

Line-by-line diff tracing is a code analysis technique that maps exact execution paths by linking each meaningful code line to screen locations, data flows, and event triggers across components and API calls.

Can I trace upstream entry points and downstream calls across file paths?

Yes, you can trace bidirectionally across file paths to map upstream entry points and downstream calls, generating an entry-point-driven trace that reveals the complete execution path across hooks and components.

Does the trace output work with code analysis extensions?

Yes, the trace output works with code analysis extensions by generating an extension-compatible table and a Deep Trace Extension-ready summary to help developers visualize execution paths directly.

What is the best way to understand execution paths in a complex codebase?

The best way to understand execution paths in a complex codebase is using line-by-line diff tracing to map granular code lines across hooks and API calls to their exact UI and data effects.
