Debugging automation, "choose" not reporting why a condition failed?

1

I have an automation that handles the on/off state of my lights. A motion sensor triggers the automation. Both when it detects motion, and when it stops detecting. Both triggers have a trigger ID.

There is nothing in the conditions section.

In the Actions section, there is a single action: Choose.

There are 2 options.
First is if the trigger ID is ‘turnOff’ with another condition.
The second is if the trigger ID is ‘turnOn’ with a bunch of conditions.

The turnOn “choose” option contains the conditions:
The trigger ID is ‘turnOn’
The lights are already off, and have been for 5 minutes
The light level in the room is below a threshold OR the light outside (via weather app templates) is dark enough.
And a few others.

Recently, the lights did not turn on, and I was confused as to why. I checked the trace. All it said was the turnOn trigger was activated, and the Default action was executed. Which means one of the conditions under turnOn failed to match. But the trace and logging and changed variables don’t tell me WHY. I need to see which condition failed, causing it to fail over to the Default, empty option.

This seems like it should be listed/in the trace/debug. Am I missing something? Is there a way to see the true/false checks of the conditions in the Choose action?

Could we see the yaml?
