Explanation

When an agent with complex parallel and sequential chains fails at a specific step, the most effective debugging approach is to implement structured logging within the agent's code. Structured logs capture input/output at each step, execution timing, intermediate state, and error context - providing a precise trail to the root cause. Option A (MLflow tracing) is a valid tool but requires that MLflow is already part of the stack and correctly integrated. Option B (MLflow.evaluate) is for model evaluation, not step-level failure diagnosis. Option D (deconstructing into independent steps) is a useful secondary technique but is more disruptive and time-consuming than adding logging. Structured logging is the most universally applicable and least invasive approach.
