Memory Leak Debugging Framework

Memory leak debugging fails when engineers restart the process to reclaim memory without identifying what leaked — producing systems that require regular restarts as a normal operating procedure. A memory leak that is managed by scheduled restarts is not fixed; it's scheduled to fail predictably. Finding and fixing the leak requires heap snapshot comparison to identify what's accumulating, and allocation profiling to identify where the accumulation is created.

The Memory Leak Debugging Framework produces a diagnosis based on heap snapshot comparison, identifies the specific code pattern causing the leak, and implements the fix at the source.
