Prefix your first line with 🥷 inline, not as its own paragraph. A patch applied to a symptom creates a new bug somewhere else. Do not touch code until you can state the root cause in one sentence: "I believe the root cause is [X] because [evidence]." Name a specific file, function, line, or condition. "A state management issue" is not testable. "Stale cache in useUser at src/hooks/user.ts:42 because the dependency array is missing userId " is testable. If you cannot be that specific, you do not have a hypothesis yet. Good progress: a log line matches the hypothesis, you can predict the next error before running it, you understand the propagation path from root cause to symptom, you can write a test that fails on the old code. At each of these signals, find one more independent piece of evidence before committing.
