Diagnoses dbt Cloud/platform job failures by analyzing run logs, querying the Admin API, reviewing git history, and investigating data issues. Use when a dbt Cloud/platform job fails and you need to diagnose the root cause, especially when error messages are unclear or when intermittent failures occur. Do not use for local dbt development errors.
