Taming Twig
summary
Enables Twig debug by setting debug: true, auto_reload: true, cache: false in the services YAML, uses dump() and Devel/Kint but warns Kint can blow memory so prefers targeted dumps or the loop over _context to avoid the white screen, and recommends the contributed filters from the Twig Field Value module—especially field_target_entity and field_raw—to pull nested entity fields without preprocessors; checklist: clear caches, inspect template suggestions, check watchdog/reports, decide if error is in a preprocessor or the Twig file, increase PHP memory or show all errors.
