## When 3+ Fixes Fail

Stop and question the architecture. Pattern of repeated failures indicates architectural problems, not implementation bugs.

## Red Flags (STOP and Follow Process)

- "Quick fix for now"
- "Just try changing X"
- Proposing solutions before tracing data flow
- "One more fix attempt" (when already tried 2+)

## Agents Used

- Process agents defined in `systematic-debugging.js`

## Tool Use

Invoke via babysitter process: `methodologies/superpowers/systematic-debugging`
