Bug reports

If you find a bug, implementation issue, documentation problem, or unclear demo behavior, please report it by email.

When possible, include:

  • a clear subject line
  • a short description of the issue
  • reproduction steps
  • expected behavior
  • actual behavior
  • environment details, if relevant
  • the phrase demo and settings used when the issue occurred

Suggested subject lines:

  • Interpretive Debugger Bug Report
  • Interpretive Debugger Documentation Issue

Scope note

The PUTMAN Interpretive Debugger is a narrow, handcrafted prototype under active development.

Reports and inquiries are most useful when they stay grounded in the current repository scope, including things like:

  • graph rendering or layout issues
  • candidate ranking behavior
  • pruning behavior
  • explanation trace clarity
  • context switching behavior
  • screenshot / README mismatches
  • reproducibility issues
  • documentation clarity
