Debugging

Use this skill for runtime issue investigation in Litestar services.

Workflow

1. Enable safe debug settings in local environments only.
2. Reproduce with minimal route/test case.
3. Inspect logs, exception handlers, and middleware interactions.
4. Fix root cause and add regression tests.

Checklist

• Never expose debug mode in production.
• Capture request context for failures.
• Verify both success and failure response contracts after fixes.
