Trace the Work the Application Performs
Give each interaction an application-generated correlation identifier. Record the start, completion, and outcome of input validation, media preparation, the model API call, response parsing, and presentation to the user. Define what success means at each boundary before investigating failures. For example, a prepared image reaching the API call is a different outcome from an image that the application could not read. If you use NexoToken for model API access, consult its current main platform documentation for the applicable calling instructions; do not assume that platform usage history supplies your application’s per-request trace.
Measure Latency at Meaningful Boundaries
Capture elapsed time separately for media preparation, waiting for a response, receiving usable output, and completing the user-visible result. This makes a slow interface distinguishable from time spent before or during an API call. If the chosen calling method supports streaming, also record when the stream starts, when output arrives, and whether it ends, fails, or is cancelled. If it does not, omit streaming-specific conclusions. As a hypothetical diagnostic case, if a user says an image question “hangs,” compare the recorded stages before changing request handling: the delay might occur while preparing the image, waiting for output, or displaying content already received.
Classify Failures Before Choosing a Remedy
Create error categories tied to stages and actions: invalid input, unreadable media, an incomplete call, output that the application cannot parse, and presentation failure are useful distinctions. Define the evidence required for each category, then run your own checks with a valid input, an invalid media input, and a user cancellation; record what actually happens rather than assuming an expected result occurred. If a call completes but the interface remains empty, inspect parsing and presentation records. If failure occurs before the call begins, inspect validation and preparation first. Keep unclassified outcomes visible so new failure modes are not silently assigned to the wrong stage.
Keep Diagnostic Logs Privacy-Safe
Log only what the investigation needs by default: correlation identifier, stage, timing, outcome, error category, and limited media metadata such as type. Avoid retaining raw prompts, images, audio, or generated content unless your documented use case requires them and appropriate controls are in place. Set access, retention, and deletion rules, then inspect logs from your own test inputs for accidental content capture. NexoToken usage history can help you review account-level use, but verify its actual scope before using it for reconciliation; it is not a substitute for the application trace described here. Close each investigation with the supporting records, unresolved possibilities, and the next check a developer can run.
