debug-failing-test

Debug a failing unit test by iteratively adding verbose logging, running the test, and analyzing the output until the root cause is found and fixed.

Workflow

Phase 1: Initial Assessment

1. Run the failing test to capture the current error message and stack trace
2. Read the test file to understand what is being tested
3. Read the source file being tested to understand the expected behavior
4. Identify the assertion that fails and what values are involved

Phase 2: Iterative Debugging Loop

Repeat until the root cause is understood:
