# Minimal Reproduction

Before changing code, make the failing behavior repeatable with a small command, test, or script.

## Steps

1. Identify the shortest path from command to failure.
2. Remove unrelated inputs while the failure still reproduces.
3. Keep the reproduction as a regression test when practical.
