When something feels wrong, use this order:
- check profile and module intent
- check host-readiness and runtime layout
- check expected profile endpoints and profile composition
- check internal-only probes when relevant
- check rendered runtime truth when composition may be the problem
- capture or compare host facts when the machine itself may have drifted
- refresh or compare machine-fit when the question is what this host should currently prefer
- capture a bounded platform-adaptation record when the seam looks machine-specific or likely to recur on another platform
- check container state
- check health endpoints
- check logs

Expect 409 when a playbook filter matches more than one playbook and the runtime refuses to guess.
Expect the normal answer plus a redacted advisory_trace; this path still does
not promote aoa-kag, aoa-memo, aoa-playbooks, aoa-routing, or mirrored
tos-source surfaces into runtime authority.

jq . "${AOA_STACK_ROOT}/Logs/runtime-gateway/cache-status/latest/gateway-local.json"Read hit_state, inflight_state, and recent_decisions there.
Its absence is not a failure in this wave because the contract lands before live cache activation.
For planned runtime usage snapshot inspection when the artifact exists locally:
jq . "${AOA_STACK_ROOT}/Logs/runtime-usage/latest/workhorse-local.snapshot.json"Read policy_mode, degrade_state, strict_stop, baseline_cost_estimate, savings_estimate, and reset_at there.
Its absence is not a failure in this wave because the contract lands before live aggregation.
For planned diagnostic spine inspection when the artifact exists locally:
jq . <(scripts/aoa-diagnose --preset intel-full --truth-goal live_available)
jq . "${AOA_STACK_ROOT}/Logs/diagnostics/latest/diagnostic_target.json"
jq . "${AOA_STACK_ROOT}/Logs/diagnostics/latest/diagnostic_session.json"
jq . "${AOA_STACK_ROOT}/Logs/diagnostics/latest/diagnosis_companion.json"
jq . "${AOA_STACK_ROOT}/Logs/diagnostics/latest/repair_handoff.json"
jq . "${AOA_STACK_ROOT}/Logs/diagnostics/latest/reviewed_diagnosis.ref.json"
jq . "${AOA_STACK_ROOT}/Logs/diagnostics/latest/last_good.ref.json"Read target, axes, truth_status, drifts, exit_class, and next_moves there.
Treat that file as the runtime copy of diagnostic_session_v1.
aoa-diagnose --write-latest also refreshes diagnostic_target.json,
diagnostic_session.json, diagnosis_companion.json, repair_handoff.json,
reviewed_diagnosis.ref.json, and the corresponding record copy under
Logs/diagnostics/records/.
Use --write-last-good-ref only when you want to promote the current green
pass into last_good.ref.json explicitly.
Use --write-reviewed-diagnosis-ref when you want the runtime seam to record
an explicit review bridge over the current diagnosis_companion.json.
Use --with-reviewed-diagnosis-ref when a reviewed diagnosis packet already
exists and the repair handoff should stop blocking on that prerequisite.

If they accidentally appear on host ports, treat that as drift.
If a change widened scope, broke locality, tangled profiles, mixed Windows host paths with Linux runtime paths, or introduced unreviewed host-facts exposure, prefer a small rollback over improvising a giant repair.
