I think this Debugging section works so well! Great idea 👏
Thanks for incorporating the notes sections into the intros, the information flows much better IMHO. 🎉

LGTM, just a few nits (or questions since I'm not really sure of how painless works 😅)
Thank you it looks really great to have this type of troubleshooting section and pages

Summary
This replaces the Painless section that was proposed for the Troubleshooting section of the docs, to instead be a Debugging Painless scripts section in the Explore & Analyze Painless docs.
To my mind, this has two advantages:
Preview: Please see Debug Painless scripts in Elasticsearch and all sub-topics.
@yetanothertw I made changes as we talked about, except that I didn't move the "root cause" sections. As I read through I realized that these are specific to each example, so they wouldn't make sense where the description is. But, I have moved the "Notes" sections to be part of the descriptions at the top of each page (above the fold).
