Production question

How do I find the failure modes my logs don't show?

The failures that matter most are often behavioral, not exceptions: a successful response can still be wrong, looping, abandoned, or off-policy. Flowlines separates behavior issues from reliability errors and opens the affected production sessions.

The answer

Exception logs help diagnose crashes, but status codes alone do not reveal a fabricated answer, a tool chain that silently returned nothing, a confident “done” with no work behind it, an answer that drifts off the allowed scope. These can occur even when the HTTP call succeeds.

Flowlines groups behavior issues into categories including looping and stuck behavior, drifting, user frustration, abandonment, result quality, hallucination and trust, and safety and policy.

Open an issue to see what happened, why it matters, where it fires, and the affected sessions. Then inspect the technical detection details before changing the agent.
