UseCase Forge DevTools

DevTools turns the read-only diagnostics protocol into an execution-oriented view. It helps answer which command entered, which policy applied, what is queued or processing, why work terminated, and whether application data was intentionally hidden.

Responsibility boundary

The extension does not schedule, cancel, retry, or publish application state. Diagnostics stays observational so a connected tool cannot change production behavior.

Guides

1. Connect and protect diagnostic data — install, connect, and reveal only safe values.
2. Read the execution screen — understand positions, events, and terminal history.
3. Diagnose queues and Policies — trace delay, rejection, restart, and cancellation.
4. Protocol, compatibility, and build modes — understand the VM and version boundary.

The DevTools recipes provide shorter problem-first procedures for safe data, non-starting Commands, and error routes.
