canva-advanced-troubleshooting
Isolate difficult Canva Connect failures without rotating credentials, replaying writes, or leaking customer data. Use when investigating intermittent transport, OAuth, async-job, capability, or preview-feature failures. Trigger with: "deep debug Canva", "Canva intermittent failure", "prepare Canva support evidence".
Why this skill is useful
Adds advanced debugging scripts for diagnosing complex issues with the Canva Connect API that are not covered in standard documentation.
What it needs

What this skill does
Canva Advanced Failure Isolation Overview Separate application, authorization, provider-contract, asynchronous-job, and network evidence before choosing a recovery action. Preserve the original operation identity and collect only redacted facts. Prerequisites Incident identifier, first-observed time, and affected operation Current integration configuration and pinned OpenAPI version Approved synthetic reproduction user and evidence destination Instructions Step 1: Freeze the failing operation Record method, endpoint pattern, environment, opaque operation or job identifier, expected terminal state, and last known good release. Do not copy raw payloads or URLs. Step 2: Inspect local evidence Use Read and Grep to compare sanitized logs, deployment/config revisions, token metadata timestamps, scope policy, and the pinned response schema. Step 3: Classify the boundary Distinguish transport failure, HTTP/provider error, OAuth expiry or revocation, missing explicit scope, unavailable capability, preview drift, and an asynchronous job still in progress. Step 4: Reproduce read-only Use a dedicated test user for the smallest non-mutating check. Never refresh a token merely to diagnose unless the credential owner authorizes rotation and atomic storage is available. Step 5: Reconcile before retry Query the existing job or resource where the contract permits. Do not recreate a design, export, upload, or autofill job until duplicate impact and idempotency are resolved. Step 6: Escalate with a safe receipt Provide Canva support only the integration ID, UTC window, endpoint pattern, redacted error code, opaque request/job reference, contract version, and bounded reproduction result. Authentication Canva Connect calls use Bearer access tokens obtained by a backend through OAuth 2.0 Authorization Code with SHA-256 PKCE. …
