Reproducing and fixing bugs in AI agents is challenging because their behavior is non-deterministic. The proposed solution involves recording the exact inputs and outputs of an agent's run, including prompts, model versions, and tool calls. This recording acts as a frozen incident. To verify a fix, a 'cut-point replay' technique is used, where the recorded incident is replayed up to a specific point, and then the new, modified code is run live to observe its effect. This method avoids re-running the entire agent, thus preventing the reintroduction of non-determinism and ensuring reliable testing without incurring additional API costs. AI
