State Inspector Investigation

Investigate application state to identify corruption, inconsistencies, and unexpected mutations.

Investigation Checklist

State Snapshot Analysis

• Capture and compare actual state against expected state
• Identify fields with unexpected or invalid values
• Check for partially initialized objects or incomplete state
• Verify invariants and business rules hold at each checkpoint
• Look for default values that should have been overwritten

State Transitions

• Trace the sequence of state changes leading to the current state
• Verify each transition follows valid state machine rules
• Identify out-of-order transitions that violate preconditions
• Check for missing transitions that leave state in limbo
• Detect duplicate transitions that corrupt accumulated state
