Observe Before Editing

Before editing code to fix a bug, confirm what the system actually produced.

Pattern

Outputs don't lie. Code might. Check outputs first.

DO

1. Check if expected directories exist: ls -la .maestro/cache/
2. Check if expected files were created: ls -la .maestro/cache/learnings/
3. Check logs for errors: tail .maestro/cache/*.log
4. Run the failing command manually to see actual error
5. Only then edit code
