Debugging Protocol

Step 1: Reproduce

  • Run the failing test/command
  • Note exact error message
  • Identify conditions for failure

Step 2: Isolate

  • Binary search through changes (git bisect)
  • Comment out code sections
  • Add logging at key points

Step 3: Hypothesize

Before changing code, form theories:

  1. Theory A: ...
  2. Theory B: ...

Step 4: Test Hypotheses

Test each theory with minimal investigation.

Step 5: Fix

Apply the smallest change that fixes the issue.

Step 6: Verify

  • Run original failing test
  • Run full test suite
  • Check for regressions
