Aglet

Investigate notification grouping with resource traces

An investigation should show whether a group represents one recognizable resource and whether its summary remains useful as events arrive. Replay related and near-by events, inspect thread keys and child state, and compare grouping against a separate notification path. A group that obscures identity is a separate presentation failure.

Build a useful investigation brief

  1. Build the resource table

    List event ID, resource, project, actor, type, state, timestamp, thread key, summary, child label, action, and destination. Include one related set and one coincidental set. Record a child that needs independent action.

  2. Trace group formation

    Change one resource, event, or thread condition at a time and compare the resulting group. Check order, summary, child completeness, and action context. Record whether a new update appends correctly or hides an earlier decision.

  3. Write the grouping brief

    State the first boundary that creates or breaks a group, affected resource types, and competing keys. Recommend one bounded key or summary experiment with a pass condition. Keep user context separate from transport identity. Name the resource field that should survive grouping.

What to carry forward

The investigation is complete when representative events have reproducible grouping and summary behavior tied to resource identity. Stop with one grouping experiment. Do not merge events that share time or actor when their destinations and decisions differ.
