This step-by-step investigation helps identify the scope of a problem in a codebase and produce an honest assessment without making any changes. It enforces plan-mode for read-only analysis and keeps cost tracking visible from start to finish.
Describe the problem you want scoped, then switch to plan mode to begin a read-only investigation.

Scoping a codebase problem without modifications requires read-only analysis that gathers context from backlogs and pillars to identify root causes. This enforces plan-mode exploration to assess affected files and document outcomes without altering the codebase.
Investigating root causes before remediation involves exploring affected files, side effects, and potential approaches to produce an honest assessment. A structured investigation report outlines actionability and backlog coverage to determine whether remediation tasks are warranted.
Documenting an investigation report requires outlining affected areas, root causes, actionability, and backlog coverage. The report delivers decision criteria filters and actionable outcomes, optionally proposing deferred items for future work while tracking start and finish times.
Yes, you can assess backlog coverage during a read-only codebase analysis by examining the backlog, pillars, and related areas. This read-only exploration determines whether action is needed and whether existing backlog items already cover the identified problem scope.
You should not use a read-only investigation when immediate code modifications or runtime fixes are required. This approach limits analysis to context gathering and scoping, meaning it will not resolve the issue directly but only produces an assessment report for future action.
