Diagnose and fix a hard bug. Build a reliable reproduction, name the cause, add a regression test, and apply the minimum fix. Use when the user reports a bug, a failure, a flaky test, a performance regression, an error, or a wrong result whose cause is unknown. Use when the user pastes a symptom, a stack trace, or failing test output. Use for "why is X broken", "it stopped working", "it got slower", or "this looks wrong". Do not use for a review-only diff, for feature design, or for a fix…

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

# /pasteurize

Use this process for hard bugs.

## Discipline

**Rule:** Build a reliable feedback loop before you form one hypothesis.

Stop at each red flag:

- You name a cause before the loop reproduces the failure.
- You accept an unrelated failure as the reproduction.
- You add a test at a mocked seam because the real seam is difficult.
- You make a fourth fix attempt on the same hypothesis list.
- You report a clean worktree without the session-tag sweep.

| Rationalization | Answer |
| --- | --- |
| "The cause is obvious." | Build the loop. An obvious cause takes one run to confirm. |
| "The loop is too slow to write." | A slow loop still beats a wrong fix. |
| "Any failure proves the bug." | Match the expected exit code or output. |
| "The mocked seam is close enough." | Record the missing seam and route to Mold. |
| "One more attempt will work." | Write a new hypothesis list first. |

Follow [`code-intelligence-routing.md`](../cheese/references/code-intelligence-routing.md) when you explore code.
Resolve the specification store with `artifact-path specs`.
Read the notes about the failed seam from the resolved directory.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add paulnsorensen/easy-cheese/pasteurize@sha256:5a924eef0557a70c

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261022.b4843e5, 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.
