How this group was decided
Every step below is a pure function of the event. The same event always produces the same group.
1 · Parse the stack trace
3 frames parsed, 2 belong to the application. Only those decide the group — the same bug reaches the runtime through different framework paths depending on the request.
- in-appcom.example.checkout.PricingService.calculateTotalPricingService.java:64
- in-appcom.example.checkout.CheckoutController.submitCheckoutController.java:88
- vendororg.springframework.web.method.support.InvocableHandlerMethod.doInvokeInvocableHandlerMethod.java:255
2 · Build the fingerprint input
Line numbers are dropped so that editing a line above the throw site does not open a new group. Values inside the message are replaced with placeholders.

3 · Hash it
SHA-256 of the text above, truncated to 128 bits. The version is part of the group key: a future algorithm opens new groups rather than rewriting these.

Similar groups
Trigram similarity computed by Postgres against a GIN index. It catches what a fingerprint cannot — the same fault one refactor away from an existing group. No model is involved.
