Instructions

Never write fix code before explicitly stating and validating a root cause hypothesis. This prevents wasted effort on incorrect assumptions and encourages deeper understanding.

  • Observed behavior: What actually happens
  • Expected behavior: What should happen
  • Reproduction steps: How to trigger the bug
  • Context: When it started, what changed, who is affected
