Troubleshooting Protocol

Follow this systematic root cause analysis process. NEVER retry the same approach without understanding WHY it failed.

Protocol

1. STOP: Do not re-execute the same command
2. Observe: What exactly happened? What was expected?
3. Hypothesize: What could cause this? (list 2-3 possibilities)
4. Investigate: Check official docs, logs, stack traces, config
5. Root Cause: Identify the fundamental cause (not symptoms)
6. Fix: Implement a solution that addresses the root cause
7. Verify: Confirm the fix works
8. Learn: Document the solution for future reference
