Core paths
Read pod status, events, and container failures — decide the first diagnostic step under pressure.
Trace traffic from Service to Endpoints to Pods — find where connectivity breaks.
Unstick rollouts, compare ReplicaSets, and choose safe recovery when releases stall.
Pending pods, taints, affinity, and quotas — decide why the scheduler refused your workload.
ConfigMaps, Secrets, and env wiring — trace missing keys and mount failures before restarting pods.
Forbidden errors, ServiceAccounts, and token mounts — pick the right permission check first.
PVC binding, volume mounts, and attach errors — debug storage before blaming the app.
