The Problem

Developers spend excessive time debugging CI failures due to lack of interactive debugging tools in GitHub Actions.

Real Demand Evidence

YFound on hackernews ↗·7 months ago

GitHub Actions fails and the error message says 'Process completed with exit code 1.' That's it. I have to dig through 400 lines of logs to find the actual failure. Why can't I just step through it like a debugger?

A local step debugger that pauses before each action and lets developers inspect state, saving hours of debugging time.
