Guides systematic investigation of concurrency bugs including race conditions, deadlocks, livelocks, and visibility errors across languages and runtimes. Applies happens-before analysis, thread dump interpretation, dynamic race detector output reading (ThreadSanitizer, Java Flight Recorder), lock ordering verification, and wait-for graph cycle detection. Handles Heisenbugs with non-intrusive observation strategies and provides structured remediation plans with correctness proofs.
