Trace Mode

Locate a runtime code boundary with temporary logs and current-attempt evidence, then clean up. Product fixes belong to debug-mode. The bundled collector scripts require Node.js 24 or later.

Working Contract

Within host permissions, explicit user scope and workflow choices override skill defaults. Continue authorized tracing through its answer and cleanup. Resolve routine unknowns with available tools; ask only for input that changes the next decision. Resume the same session after replies or compaction. Keep a compact Trace Card and event plan in context; read references as their stage applies.

Caller mode: when Debug Mode supplies a Bug Card and hypotheses, reuse them and perform Steps 2–4 only. Return active probes, the Collector Contract, latest producer connection result and time, and any tunnel handle. The caller owns capture gates, analysis, fixes, and cleanup; skip standalone Steps 5–7.
