Add WFGY as a structured RAG debugging map with minimal fix workflow #4

Description

@onestardao

I wanted to ask whether a failure-mode taxonomy / debugging guide for RAG systems would be in scope as an additional resource.

What WFGY Problem Map is

WFGY is an open source project that defines a 16-mode failure map (No.1–No.16) for LLM + RAG pipelines. The modes include:

retrieval hallucination even when relevant evidence is present
vector store ingestion / index fragmentation
bootstrap ordering / infra race conditions between API gateway and vector DB
secrets / config drift only visible on first production deploy
and other “quietly dangerous” failure modes
Problem Map README:

https://github.com/onestardao/WFGY/tree/main/ProblemMap#readme
For each mode, there is a description, typical symptoms and suggested minimal countermeasures.

Why it might help security-focused users

Security-oriented RAG agents are especially sensitive to silent drift and mis-wiring. A concrete failure-mode map gives teams:

a vocabulary to discuss what went wrong
a checklist before declaring a system “safe enough for use”
a way to document lessons learned from incidents
Possible entry

If you think this fits the scope, a short entry under a “Debugging / reliability / hardening” section could be:

WFGY 16 Problem Map – RAG failure-mode taxonomy
Open source map of 16 real-world failure modes (No.1–No.16) for LLM + RAG systems, with debugging checklists and mitigation ideas.

If you prefer to limit the list to more security-specific resources only, feel free to ignore this suggestion. Thanks again for curating.
