I wanted to ask whether a failure mode taxonomy and debugging guide for RAG systems would be in scope as an additional resource.
What WFGY Problem Map is
WFGY is an open source project that defines a 16 mode failure map (No.1 to No.16) for LLM plus RAG pipelines. The modes include:
retrieval hallucination even when relevant evidence is present
vector store ingestion and index fragmentation
bootstrap ordering and infra race conditions between API gateway and vector DB
secrets and config drift only visible on first production deploy
and other quietly dangerous failure modes
Problem Map README:
https://github.com/onestardao/WFGY/tree/main/ProblemMap#readme
For each mode, there is a description, typical symptoms and suggested minimal countermeasures.
Why it might help transformer and RAG users
Transformer based LLMs are often deployed with RAG layers on top. Those systems are especially sensitive to silent drift and mis wiring. A concrete failure mode map gives teams:
a vocabulary to discuss what went wrong
a checklist before declaring a system safe enough for use
a way to document lessons learned from incidents
Possible entry
If you think this fits the scope, a short entry under a Debugging, reliability, or hardening section could be:
WFGY 16 Problem Map, RAG failure mode taxonomy
Open source map of 16 real world failure modes (No.1 to No.16) for LLM plus RAG systems, with debugging checklists and mitigation ideas.
https://github.com/onestardao/WFGY/tree/main/ProblemMap#readme
If you prefer to limit the list to model and architecture focused resources only, feel free to ignore this suggestion. Thanks again for curating.
