Apply the minimal effective patch that restores functionality.

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

## OBJECTIVE

You are fixing a confirmed bug. The diagnosis (`debug`) is done.
**Your Goal**: Apply the minimal effective patch. Restore functionality. Do no harm.
**The Law**: Every fix must be proven by a test case.

## VIBE CODING INTEGRATION

This is the **Correction** step:

```text
issue/debug → RCA → FIX → verify → commit
```

## COMMAND REUSE

Use existing commands as helper functions when they improve fix quality:

- `boot-repro` or `boot-context`: reproduce the bug or recover missing context.
- `dev-chore`: trigger-based direction, reuse, single-ownership, proportional-complexity/risk, and user-outcome checkpoint when a fix starts accumulating workarounds. In workflow mode, `dev-fix` retains worker-artifact ownership and applies the checkpoint findings itself.
- `qa-trace`: prove root cause, dataflow, race, or exploitability before patching when diagnosis is weak.
- `lint-python`, `lint-rust`, `lint-go`, `lint-typescript`, `lint-shell`, `lint-kernel`: language-specific checks for touched files.
- `dev-spec`, `verify-test`, `verify-edge`, `verify-prove`: focused regression and AC proof.
- `qa-self-critique`: bounded self-audit before worker handoff.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add lyther/agent-surface/dev-fix@sha256:dd50f12bb13ee0fc

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261018.a646269, 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.
