# Debugging optimized builds

## Contract

| Field | Bound contract |
|---|---|
| Trigger | GDB reports `<optimized out>`, breakpoints land on wrong lines, a release or RelWithDebInfo build needs debugging, inlined frames confuse the backtrace, or a debuggable optimized build needs configuring. |
| Authority | Read-only. Emits analysis and commands for the operator to run on the target; no file writes, no rollback needed. No remote mutation. |
| Side effect | Diagnostic commands and a verdict in chat. Nothing is written. |
| Done | The optimized-build obstacle is named, the workaround is applied or stated, and program state is observable at the needed point. |

## Inputs

1. Build configuration (required): the optimization and debug flags in use, or the CMake build type.
