post mortems / bug hunting -- pinpointing what part of the logic was to blame for a certain problem.

this is what granular commits are for, the kilobytes long log of claude running in circles over bullshit isn't going to help anyone

[ahupp]

I think the parent comment is saying “why did the agent produce this big, and why wants it caught”, which is a separate problem from what granular commits solve, of finding the bug in the first place.

Then look at the code, the session will only confuse. To read an LLM's explanation is to anthropomorphize what will just be a probabilistic incident.

no you look at the session to understand what the context was for the code change -- what did you _ask_ the llm to do? did it do it? where did a certain piece of logic go wrong? Session history has been immensely useful to me and it serves as an important documentation of the entire flow of the project. I don't think people should look at session histories at all unless they need to.
