Systematic Debugging

Root-cause the bug before proposing a fix

Debugging · MIT

When

Use when encountering any bug, test failure, or unexpected behavior, before proposing fixes

The Catch

Evidence lives outside the agent. Reproduce the failure, read the log, then patch. Do not skip verification because the stack trace looked obvious.
