The error list exposes failures faster than the surrounding model context.
Fast scanning protects incident response while preserved lineage context protects correct diagnosis.
Who you’d be doing this for
“I found the error, then spent twenty minutes figuring out which downstream model was actually at risk.”

What is at stake
Only 46% of failed-run investigations now reach model context, down from 58%. You have to weigh faster error scanning against enough lineage context to diagnose the right model.
Why it isn’t already fixed
Every obvious fix costs something else. That’s the part you’d have to decide.
- fast error scanning vs retained model context
- release scope vs investigation completeness
- simple navigation vs diagnostic confidence
