Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
When the solver hits a score corruption coming from constraints, it's often tedious to minimize the dataset and active constraints to isolate it.

Describe the solution you'd like
Imagine hitting a score corruption (e.g. with a TRACKED_FULL_ASSERT mode) and getting the score analysis diff (last state before and after a SC). Instead of trying which constraints (or their combination) create the SC, the diff would already report the suspects.

Moreover, if we can also get the matches, that would simplify even minimizing the dataset.

Research direction

Start with TRACKED_FULL_ASSERT mode and the existing score analysis diff around a score corruption (SC), comparing the last state before and after the corruption. Define the work around reporting suspect constraints or constraint combinations and, if possible, their matches; done means the report helps identify both without manually minimizing the dataset and active constraints.
