Act 3 beginning spoilers. Yrliet?

[Troubles The Cat]

I think I've missed some exposition? How does my character know that it is Yrliets fault for me being trapped in the dark eldar city? As far as I saw, she thought she found some of her kin, we went to investigate, then it turned out to be a dark eldar trap and we all got taken?

[Nether]

Yeah, she gets intel on more of her kin and leads you to a place that turns out to be a DEldar trap, it's more or less what happens - I think that while Marazhai springs the trap he already does the reveal so it shouldn't be a spoiler, but I'll mark it as such anyway.

Basically her source of that intel is Marazhai, who uses her to get you all into a trap. She does a stupid and lies to you about where she got the info from, so you get to blame her for the trap.

[DeathScream]

What you missed is most likely a part of a conversation between Yrliet and her dark eldar counterpart Marazhai aboard that same ship. And maybe some later on when you were "being judged" at the beginning of act 3

Ohh. So she didn't actually do it on purpose, it's just the "human blame xenos for everything" that is giving me dialogue options of like shouting at Yrliet for being a traitor?

Tbh I get confused easily, I played through that interorgation like 3 times and I still probably only understood half of it lol

It is very clear it was a trap. Also Yrliet was there during your fake trial, not as a prisoner but as a member in good standing with the DE.
She also told you were to go and that she found more of her refugee kin. When you walk there you find human ship with human crew with DE close the trap.
The ship had nothing to do with her craftworld kin.

But if she was looking for her kin and someone told her that her kin had been spotted somewhere, I don't see how that makes her a traitor?

And yeah I'm still kinda baffled why she was there not as a prisoner

Yrliet does intentionally withold information from the Lord Captain and it results in lots of deaths and grief for you and your party. She's not THAT stupid and realizes nobody sane would trust a Drukhari with such information so she keeps her mouth shut.

Whether you consider that betrayal or not is up to you. But to me that's unforgivable.
It's not like Heinrix withholding info and refusing to reveal the identities of Inquisition spies.

1. Mazrahai says "lol go there, the Aeldari are waiting. totally not a trap btw. Also bring everyone".
2. Yrliet drags you there cause she's a moron (basically an emotional child by Eldar standards, she's young).
3. Yrliet decides to withold information from you and lies because she very well realizes NOBODY would agree to follow this clearly trustworthy intel from a Drukhari.
4. Everyone gets ♥♥♥♥♥♥ (figuratively and literally)

When did she get to talk to mazrahai? This is the bit of exposition I think I've missed, the like, how the info wasn't genuine? As far as I know, she told me she heard some stuff at the docks, but actually it was a rumour from Achilles who knows loads about the drukhari, but since achillies was a traitor, the info turned out to be a trap. That is my bad understanding and why Im confused that she's a traitor

Somewhere between Acts 2 and 3. Mazrahai contacts Yrliet and she follows like a dumbo (he later explains it but only if you recruit him I think).
Yrliet comes to you at the start of Act 3 and tells her she's been exploring Dargonus while you were busy, and picked up on some rumours. And that's a lie cause she got this info from the Deldar to bait the RT.

It's not exactly spelled out and you only get the whole picture later on.

Oooohhhhh. Well that seems odd then that I have dialogue options which seem to indicate my RT knows she's a traitor, but I only get the exposition of finding that out later on

[Mad Cat]

There was an important part, which noone mentioned here. She found a piece of her dead craftworld on the RT's ship. This drove her crazy and she decided to betray you.

It is even an event you can have with Yrliet. To watch over your trophies with her.

The problem with that event is that it's not explained what exactly tripped her up - Yrliet sees a weird artifact (that I had no idea about) and tenses up, but doesn't elaborate.

Same as the OP, I was very, very confused about all the "traitor" talk when in my eyes, all we did was follow the traces of Yrliet's lost kin. Not that I would be mad even if she did betray me, since Yrliet's romance is the only one that I find somewhat intriguing.

It still feels like a lot of it is only explained much later, which makes the betrayal accusations at the start of the chapter quite meaningless.
