Dagger: A Data (not code) Debugger
Summary: Dagger: an end-to-end data (not code) debugger exposing data-centric primitives to perform interactive what‑if analyses and targeted fixes on script-based analytics pipelines. Unique for abstracting transformations and lineage-aware interventions to speed diagnosis/repair; prototype deployed in Data Civilizer 2.0 for clinical pipelines.
