Troubleshoot Kubernetes CrashLoopBackOff with incident context

A Pod in CrashLoopBackOff is restarting after a container exits repeatedly. The status tells you that a restart loop exists, but it does not identify one universal cause. Memory limits, application errors, missing configuration, and failed dependencies need different fixes.

This guide gives an operator a short path from symptom to evidence. kwatch can collect much of that context in an incident alert, but you should still verify the proposed cause against the workload.
