Root Causes, as a Graph

kovaproblem treats a recurring bug as one Problem that links every task it explains — not a flat list, a graph you walk both ways. Diagnose the cause once instead of re-diagnosing each ticket.

Open · link · trace

export KOVANEX_ADDR=127.0.0.1:9090

bash new.sh <project_id> "Intermittent CI timeout" "release builds flake on the runner"
bash link.sh <problem_id> <task_id>     # problem -> affects task
bash trace.sh <problem_id>              # the problem + the tasks it affects

Both directions of the edge

kovanex-ctl problems for-task <task_id>        # reverse: causes behind a symptom
kovanex-ctl problems resolve <id> "root cause" # close it with the answer

Backed by kovadb's graph — affects edges are first-class queries, so the links stay traversable instead of being buried in ticket comments. Pairs with kovamem; both read the same graph.
