You Are Debugging a Distributed System With Single-Process Tools. That Is Why It Takes Days. (opens in new tab)

Traditional distributed tracing was built on assumptions about how software fails. A POST to /api/orders hits the same three services in the same order. You pre-define the schema, set up alerts on deviations, and the trace tells you what happened. LLM agents violate all of these assumptions. The execution path changes every run.
