investigation

To investigate unclear repository behavior, collect logs, traces, and runtime state to confirm code paths, reproduce the issue in a controlled environment, and document observed facts to guide next steps.

The best way to collect evidence is to gather repository-local logs, traces, and runtime state, which confirms how code paths execute and validates configurations before making any changes.

You can reproduce observed behavior in controlled environments to isolate the root cause, using structured reproduction procedures and collected evidence to distinguish actual issues from external factors.

You need to document observations and remaining unknowns during an investigation because it records evidence-based findings and recommended next steps, reducing premature work and guiding future development.

Yes, you can use evidence-based investigation for any unclear repository-local state, as it verifies conditions and factual state through structured evidence collection before deciding whether a fix is needed.
