I'm usually on the documenting side of things. If something like this starts unfolding, I produce text or HTML files anyway, they go on github/lab/whatever, and I wash my hands of what happens next.
In the end I write documentation mostly for myself. When the company can't figure things out over Discord or whatever ephemeral chat interface they use, I get called anyway.

I do extensive in-code documentation. The compiler discards all comments so I don't worry about commenting my code. Source code is for humans to understand and write anyways.
