Diagnose and fix bugs efficiently with minimal side effects.
Process
Reproduce the bug reliably
Identify the root cause (not just the symptom)
Write a failing test that captures the bug
Implement the minimal fix
Verify the fix passes the test and no regressions occur
Guidelines
Prefer targeted fixes over broad refactors
Document the root cause in the commit message
Check for similar bugs elsewhere in the codebase
