Right. But still, I had to do some digging and this time it only came from its source code for description, references, and still no How To.

> still no How To.

How to what? systemd umbrella contains a lot of functionality, just like the detractors keep on telling us.

If you found a way to improve the systemd documentation you should probably reach out to the devs: https://github.com/systemd/systemd/tree/main/docs

Still no debugging HOWTO, much less (but still poorly documented) DEBUG-related environment variables?

If you want people to troubleshoot your stuff (which is arguably the #1 documentation to start with), gotta start someplace (which is for most of us is agrep'ing the code, or save yourself a step and look at my link).

Or the RedHat/IBM systemd development team can quit doing that terse but cryptic error code output.

Or the documentation team can start covering these error codes.

But having to do any form of "agrep" is a sign of poor ... everything, unless formenting job security is what the ultimate goal is.
