## Troubleshooting Guide

### Common Issues and Solutions

#### Issue 1: Script Size Exceeded
```
Error: Script size exceeds 520 bytes limit
```

**Symptoms:**
- Script validation fails
- Bitcoin transaction rejected
- OP_CAT operations not executing

**Causes:**
- Too many operations in script
- Large content identifiers
- Inefficient operation sequence

**Solutions:**

```python
# Solution 1: Optimize script size
def optimize_script_size(script: Dict) -> Dict:
    """Optimize script to reduce size."""
    operations = script["operations"]
    
    # Remove redundant operations
    optimized_ops = []
    for i, op in enumerate(operations):
        # Skip consecutive PUSH operations that can be combined
        if (i > 0 and 
            op["op"].startswith("OP_PUSH") and 
            operations[i-1]["op"].startswith("OP_PUSH")):
            # Combine with previous operation
            continue
        optimized_ops.append(op)
    
    script["operations"] = optimized_ops
    return script

# Solution 2: Use content chunking
def handle_large_content(content: bytes) -> Dict:
    """Handle large content through chunking."""
    if len(content) > 1000000:  # 1MB threshold
        # Use chunked approach
        chunk_size = 1024 * 1024  # 1MB chunks
        chunks = [content[i:i+chunk_size] for i in range(0, len(content), chunk_size)]
        return create_chunked_script(chunks)
    else:
        # Use basic approach
        return create_basic_script(content)

# Solution 3: Minimize CID length
def create_minimal_cid(content: bytes) -> str:
    """Create minimal CID for space efficiency."""
    # Use shorter hash if security allows
    content_hash = hashlib.sha256(content).digest()[:16]  # Truncate to 16 bytes
    cid_base32 = base64.b32encode(content_hash).decode('utf-8').lower()
    return f"bafy{cid_base32[:20]}"  # Shorter CID
```

**Prevention:**
- Always validate script size before deployment
- Use chunking for large content
- Optimize operation sequences

#### Issue 2: Stack Depth Limit Exceeded
```
Error: Stack depth exceeded during execution
```

**Symptoms:**
- Script execution fails
- Stack overflow errors
- Transaction validation failure

**Causes:**
- Too many PUSH operations without consumption
- Inefficient concatenation patterns
- Nested conditional structures

**Solutions:**

```python
# Solution 1: Monitor stack depth

    """Monitor and analyze stack depth."""
    stack_depth = 0
    max_depth = 0

        # Track stack changes
        if op_name.startswith("OP_PUSH"):
            stack_depth += 1
        elif op_name in ["OP_CAT", "OP_HASH256", "OP_EQUAL", "OP_EQUALVERIFY"]:
            stack_depth = max(0, stack_depth - 1)
        elif op_name in ["OP_1", "OP_0"]:
            stack_depth += 1
        elif op_name in ["OP_DROP"]:
            stack_depth = max(0, stack_depth - 1)
        
        max_depth = max(max_depth, stack_depth)
        depth_history.append({
            "operation": i,
            "op": op_name,

        "final_depth": stack_depth,
        "depth_history": depth_history,
        "exceeds_limit": max_depth > 10
    }

# Solution 2: Optimize stack usage
def optimize_stack_usage(operations: List[Dict]) -> List[Dict]:
    """Optimize operations for better stack usage."""
    optimized = []
    
    # Group consecutive PUSH operations
    push_group = []
    for op in operations:
        if op["op"].startswith("OP_PUSH"):
            push_group.append(op)
        else:
            # Process accumulated PUSH operations
            if push_group:
                optimized.extend(push_group)
                push_group = []
            optimized.append(op)
    
    # Add remaining PUSH operations
    if push_group:
        optimized.extend(push_group)
    
    return optimized

# Solution 3: Use efficient concatenation patterns
def create_efficient_concatenation_script(items: List[str]) -> Dict:
    """Create script with efficient concatenation."""
    operations = []
    
    # Use tree-based concatenation instead of linear
    def create_tree_concatenation(items, start=0, end=None):
        if end is None:
            end = len(items)
        
        if start >= end:
            return []
        
        if end - start == 1:
            return [{"op": f"OP_PUSHBYTES_{len(items[start])}", "data": items[start]}]
        
        mid = (start + end) // 2
        left_ops = create_tree_concatenation(items, start, mid)
        right_ops = create_tree_concatenation(items, mid, end)
        
        return left_ops + right_ops + [{"op": "OP_CAT"}]
    
    operations = create_tree_concatenation(items)
    
    return {
        "version": "OP_CAT_EFFICIENT_v1.0",
        "operations": operations,
        "metadata": {
            "item_count": len(items),

    }
