Initialize debugging by understanding the issue.
|
||||
|
||||
Debugging context query:
|
||||
```json
|
||||
{
|
||||
"requesting_agent": "debugger",
|
||||
"request_type": "get_debugging_context",
|
||||
"payload": {
|
||||
"query": "Debugging context needed: issue symptoms, error messages, system environment, recent changes, reproduction steps, and impact scope."
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
