opschain chains

Included from Basic tier

Inspect correlation chains: the causal cascade of events, changes and workflow runs that share one correlation id. Every chain member's API attributes carry correlation_id, so any row of opschain events (or any change/run id that started a cascade) is a handle into its whole chain. chain is accepted as an alias.

Two verbs with different jobs:

SubcommandDoes
opschain chains showThe whole cascade as a causality tree: objects with derived lifecycle, informative events kept, lifecycle noise folded — opschain docs cli/chains-show
opschain chains triageFailures only, plus the server's triage digest: each suspect's failure class, topology, runner and log tail; a green chain digests to its caveats; --bundle exports the redacted support bundle — opschain docs cli/chains-triage

show is for understanding what happened; triage is for deciding what to do about a failure. Reach for triage first when something is red — it already filters to the failed objects, attributes a shared runner, and hands you the retry and log commands.

Both verbs need a server target (--server <url> or the active context); local mode has no chains.
