Directed Fuzzball team to improve logging and error observability

Situation

After AMD MI300 troubleshooting meeting, directed Fuzzball team (Jonathon Anderson, David Horn) that the product needs better logging and error visibility. Customers should be able to self-diagnose issues via log files instead of requiring live troubleshooting meetings with CIQ engineers.

Reasoning

AMD troubleshooting meeting crystallized a broader concern: Fuzzball's error reporting is insufficient. If a customer can't figure out what's wrong without a live call, that doesn't scale. Pushing for self-diagnosing product — log files should tell the story. Both a product maturity requirement and a scaling strategy. The principle 'Don't mind a problem. Mind a problem when there's no clear visibility' is meant to be embedded in how the team builds.

Additional Context

AMD MI300 imaging failure was caused by two missing config files. Root cause was found during live troubleshooting meeting — this should have been diagnosable from logs. Peter sent the same message to both Jonathon Anderson and David Horn to ensure the message landed with key Fuzzball team members.

Observed Evidence

Same directive sent to two different Fuzzball team members in parallel DMs. Direct quote establishes a principle, not just a one-time fix. AMD meeting context shows the specific gap that triggered the directive.
