Systematic Debugging

Loop

  1. Reproduce the failure with the smallest exact command.
  2. Capture expected vs actual behavior.
  3. Form one hypothesis at a time.
  4. Add instrumentation or a focused test to falsify it.
  5. Apply the smallest fix, then rerun the failing command and the relevant regression suite.

Never batch unrelated fixes in one debugging loop.
