Fix Issue

Investigate and fix: $ARGUMENTS

Step 1 — Gather Evidence

• Read the full error traceback, log output, or bug report
• Identify the exception type, message, file, and line number
• Note any relevant request data, state, or configuration
• Check if a test already covers this case

Step 2 — Reproduce

Write a minimal test that triggers the error:

// Write a test that triggers the error
test_reproduces_issue(client) {
    resp = client.<METHOD>("<path>", ...)
    // This should reproduce the error — verify it fails
}

Run it to confirm it fails.

Step 3 — Diagnose

Trace the error through the architecture layers (see Layers in project config):

1. API layer — Route handler, request parsing, DI
2. Dependencies — Auth chain, service injection
3. Service layer — Business logic, thread safety
4. Core layer — External resource communication, protocol
5. Config — Settings, environment variables

For each layer, ask:

• Is the input valid at this point?
• Is the exception caught or propagated correctly?
• Is thread safety maintained?
• Is the state consistent?

Common root causes:

• Resource errors: External resource not open, invalid identifier
• Auth errors: API key misconfigured, missing timing-safe comparison
• State errors: State dict out of sync with actual resource state
• Thread errors: Lock not held during resource access
• Config errors: Env var not set or wrong type

Step 4 — Fix

• Fix in the correct layer (core → service → API)
• Use typed exceptions, not generic Exception
• Maintain thread safety if touching service layer
• Rollback semantics if touching multi-entity operations

Step 5 — Verify

• The reproduction test MUST now pass
• Run the test command and the type-check command (see project config)

Step 6 — Audit

• Are there similar patterns elsewhere that have the same bug?
• Does the fix maintain backwards compatibility?
• If the root cause was non-obvious, add a code comment explaining why
• If the issue could recur, suggest a preventive measure
