Houston, We’ve Got a Problem! : How to Debug your Pipeline in...
summary
Adds a breakpoint-on-failure mode to Tekton that pauses a failing Step and gives an interactive shell into that Step’s container (demo runs on minikube), implemented by Tekton’s entrypoint injection plus helper scripts (e.g. debug-continue and debug-fail) to mark the Step success/fail and resume the TaskRun. Current limits: needs a shell in the image and only “on failure” breakpoint; roadmap covers arbitrary breakpoints, injecting a portable shell, IDE attach and tkn/dashboard integration.
