My most common headscratcher is when this happens. The trace timeline says: "Choose: No action executed" but that makes no sense because it should've gone with the middle option in the action section. Regardless I'm not here to get help debugging this specific automation, I want general understanding. Why doesn't it clearly say why it chose no action? Each action has a bunch of conditionals yet there's no information to go on. The step config just prints out the entire action section with no details or stack trace to follow.

I can of course go through the device page referenced in the automation and see if one of them updated too slowly or perhaps never updated, causing it to skip. But it seems like this information should be highlighted in the automation trace itself.
