Debug Mode

Prove a runtime cause, fix it, verify the original behavior, and clean up. Start for $debug-mode, /debug-mode, debug mode, or an instrumented debugging request; resume an active session after replies or compaction. An unrelated task or a checkpoint answer without an active session does not start instrumentation. The sibling trace-mode supplies the collector and instrumentation workflow and requires Node.js 24 or later.

Working Contract

Within host permissions, explicit user scope and workflow choices override skill defaults. Continue authorized work without step-by-step approval. Resolve routine unknowns from available evidence; ask only for missing input that changes the next decision. Keep one compact Bug Card and Hypothesis Matrix in session context, updating them instead of repeating the plan. Read references as their stage applies.
