Regressions

How DEX reopens resolved issues when the same fingerprint appears again.

DEX issues have a lifecycle. The important statuses are:

open — active issue
resolved — manually marked fixed
ignored — manually suppressed
regression — a resolved issue that reappeared

What counts as a regression?

A regression happens when:

You resolve an issue in the dashboard
The same fingerprint is captured again later
DEX changes the issue status from resolved → regression

In the UI you may see this displayed as “Regressed”.

Why this matters

Regressions are usually the most urgent issues:

A fix didn’t hold
A change reintroduced a known bug
A deployment uncovered a hidden dependency

If you use DEX during releases, regressions make it obvious when something “came back”.
