How this group was decided

Every step below is a pure function of the event. The same event always produces the same group.

  1. 1 · Parse the stack trace

    4 frames parsed, 3 belong to the application. Only those decide the group — the same bug reaches the runtime through different framework paths depending on the request.

    • in-appsrc/transcode/buffer.js.allocateFrameBuffersrc/transcode/buffer.js:61
    • in-appsrc/transcode/decode.js.decodeSegmentsrc/transcode/decode.js:203
    • vendornode_modules/p-limit/index.js.<anonymous>node_modules/p-limit/index.js:57
    • in-apptask_queues.<anonymous>task_queues:95

  2. 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.

service=media-transcoder

frame=src/transcode/decode.js#decodeSegment
frame=task_queues#<anonymous>

  3. 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.

Nothing above the 0.3 similarity threshold.
