# Kernel debugging
## Contract
| Field | Bound contract |
|---|---|
| Trigger | A kernel panic or oops with an unclear trace, live debugging of a module with kgdb or kdb, tracing a function without recompiling, enabling driver debug output, or analyzing a vmcore. |
| 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 an evidence-backed verdict in chat. Nothing is written. |
| Done | The failing path is named with evidence from a trace, backtrace, or crash session, or the next diagnostic step is stated with the reason. |
## Inputs
1. Symptom (required): panic, oops, hang, lockup, or wrong behavior.
