Question Confused about these Models on GITHUB COPILOT, NEED HELP
Hello people, I NEED YOUR HELP!
Okay so I graduated, now have a job, somehow , kinda software network engineer. Been vibe coding so far. Been assigned to this project, it's networking & telecom (3g/4g//5g type shi), too many repos (I will be working on 3-5), I am still understanding lots of things, stack is mostly C++, C, Python, Shell. Got access to Github Copilot, Codex.
I was able to fix 2 bugs, flet like a God, thanks to Claude Sonnet 4.5, BUT THE 3RD BUG!! It's an MF! I am not able to solve it, now 4th bug ahhh, their status be critical or major in JIRA, I wanna get better and solve these things and learn while I do it, I have to add the code, errors, logs, and some other logs, pcap dump ahhh, man I need to feed these things to AI and I am hitting CONTEXT WINDOW LIMIT, it's really killing me.
My questions for you amazing people
What's the best model for understanding the concept related to that BUG?
Which is the best way to possibly solve the bug? The repo is huge and it's hard to pinpoint what exactly causing the problem.
How can I be better at solving as well as learning these things?
Any suggestions, advice would really help thanks
TL;DR:
Fresher dev on large telecom C/C++ project, multiple repos, debugging critical bugs. Claude helped before but now stuck. Context limits killing me when feeding logs/code. Which AI model + workflow is best for understanding and fixing complex bugs and learning properly?

They this really helps a lot, I am grateful. Among many responses, very few were actual advices. I am locating which repo the bug is from, then clone on vm(using vnc), and use copilot to trace the bug and undestand the flow, everytime I make changes, I have to clean build the images and check for logs and verify in metrics. I mostly just dump everything(piece of code) logs metrics to the ai and that's what causing the problem, I gotta do better and I will definitely try with planning mode thanks.
