When tooling is broken, fix or find the canonical path rather than routing around it ad hoc; extend the module that owns the concern.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Solve the root, not a workaround An ad hoc bypass of broken tooling leaves the breakage in place for the next person and scatters the fix across call sites. The frustration of a broken tool is not time pressure; there is room to do it properly. **Why:** workarounds accumulate into a second, undocumented system that no one owns. **How to apply:** locate the component that owns the concern and fix it there, or ask for the canonical fixed tool. Prefer extending an existing owner over adding a parallel mechanism beside it.

How to install
mdr add kalabint/llm-tooling/solve-root-not-workaround@sha256:59c1429e0f0ed223The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260907.47ea7d2, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
