# Perplexity Debug Bundle

## Overview
Collect all necessary diagnostic information for Perplexity support tickets.

## Prerequisites
- Perplexity SDK installed
- Access to application logs
- Permission to collect environment info

## Instructions

### Step 1: Create Debug Bundle Script
```bash
#!/bin/bash
# perplexity-debug-bundle.sh

BUNDLE_DIR="perplexity-debug-$(date +%Y%m%d-%H%M%S)"
mkdir -p "$BUNDLE_DIR"

echo "=== Perplexity Debug Bundle ===" > "$BUNDLE_DIR/summary.txt"
echo "Generated: $(date)" >> "$BUNDLE_DIR/summary.txt"
```

### Step 2: Collect Environment Info
```bash
set -euo pipefail
# Environment info
echo "--- Environment ---" >> "$BUNDLE_DIR/summary.txt"
node --version >> "$BUNDLE_DIR/summary.txt" 2>&1
npm --version >> "$BUNDLE_DIR/summary.txt" 2>&1
echo "PERPLEXITY_API_KEY: ${PERPLEXITY_API_KEY:+[SET]}" >> "$BUNDLE_DIR/summary.txt"
```

### Step 3: Gather SDK and Logs
```bash
set -euo pipefail
# SDK version
npm list @perplexity/sdk 2>/dev/null >> "$BUNDLE_DIR/summary.txt"

# Recent logs (redacted)
grep -i "perplexity" ~/.npm/_logs/*.log 2>/dev/null | tail -50 >> "$BUNDLE_DIR/logs.txt"

# Configuration (redacted - secrets masked)
echo "--- Config (redacted) ---" >> "$BUNDLE_DIR/summary.txt"
cat .env 2>/dev/null | sed 's/=.*/=***REDACTED***/' >> "$BUNDLE_DIR/config-redacted.txt"

# Network connectivity test
echo "--- Network Test ---" >> "$BUNDLE_DIR/summary.txt"
echo -n "API Health: " >> "$BUNDLE_DIR/summary.txt"
curl -s -o /dev/null -w "%{http_code}" https://api.perplexity.com/health >> "$BUNDLE_DIR/summary.txt"
echo "" >> "$BUNDLE_DIR/summary.txt"
```

### Step 4: Package Bundle
```bash
tar -czf "$BUNDLE_DIR.tar.gz" "$BUNDLE_DIR"
echo "Bundle created: $BUNDLE_DIR.tar.gz"
```

## Output
- `perplexity-debug-YYYYMMDD-HHMMSS.tar.gz` archive containing:
  - `summary.txt` - Environment and SDK info
  - `logs.txt` - Recent redacted logs
  - `config-redacted.txt` - Configuration (secrets removed)

## Error Handling
| Item | Purpose | Included |
|------|---------|----------|
| Environment versions | Compatibility check | ✓ |
| SDK version | Version-specific bugs | ✓ |
| Error logs (redacted) | Root cause analysis | ✓ |
| Config (redacted) | Configuration issues | ✓ |
| Network test | Connectivity issues | ✓ |

## Examples

### Sensitive Data Handling
**ALWAYS REDACT:**
