  1. Find first failure: grep -n -m1 -iE "error|fail" build.log
  2. Context around it: grep -n -B5 -A15 -m1 -iE "error|fail" build.log
  3. Count repeated errors: grep -iE "error" build.log | sed -E 's/[0-9]+/N/g' | sort | uniq -c | sort -rn | head
  4. Time gaps (hangs): awk '{print $1}' build.log | uniq -c | sort -rn | head
  5. Compare passing vs failing run: diff <(sed -E 's/[0-9:.-]+//g' ok.log) <(sed -E 's/[0-9:.-]+//g' bad.log) | head -50
