Example Debugging Scenario
This is an illustrative scenario. It shows how certificate checkpoints can narrow debugging scope without claiming that IAP automatically diagnoses semantic failures.
- Append local state into AMCS and issue a continuity certificate at deployment A.
- Store the resulting certificate as a known-good checkpoint.
- A later change introduces unexpected behavior.
- The team compares the newer certificate path, local state inputs, and the last known-good checkpoint.
- The certificate boundary helps narrow the set of changes that could have caused the issue.
IAP gives an auditable timeline that can make debugging scope smaller and more concrete.
