When to use
Use for failures, flakes, wrong outputs, crashes, and regressions.
Non-goals
- Do not jump to a fix before reproduction/localization when the bug is unclear.
- Do not treat “run all tests” as debugging by default.
Workflow
- Reproduce or gather the strongest available failure signal.
- Minimize the case.
- Localize to component/file/line.
- State root cause vs symptoms.
- Fix only when authorized; otherwise hand back a diagnosis with evidence.
