Developer uses custom AI agent diagnostic tool to fix production meltdown

An indie developer created a tool called the Agent Reliability Kit (ARK) to diagnose common failure modes in AI agent systems. By applying ARK to a real-world production issue on OpenClaw, the developer identified two independent regressions colliding: uncached scans causing memory leaks and a state mismatch in session resets. The analysis, presented in a public report, led to upstream pull requests that fixed both critical issues, validating the developer's diagnostic approach. AI
