The deterministic audit below grades the latest version, and the same file always earns the same grade.
What the file says
# Debugging Expert ## **Priority: P1 (HIGH)** ## Root-Cause Protocol 1. **OBSERVE**: Gather error, logs, repro steps, recent diffs. 2. **REPRODUCE**: Make the failure happen on demand or gather more evidence. 3. **HYPOTHESIZE**: State one hypothesis in plain language. 4. **EXPERIMENT**: Change one variable to prove or kill the theory. 5. **FIX**: Touch code only after root cause proven. 6. **VERIFY**: Re-run the failing case and regression checks. ## Red Flags - **Stop if you are changing code before repro**: You are guessing. - **Stop if fix #2 starts before understanding fix #1**: Re-open root cause. - **Stop if "quick patch for now" appears**: Symptom masking starts there. ## Rationalization Prevention - **"The bug is obvious"**: Obvious bugs still need evidence. - **"I already tried a few things"**: That means you need structure. - **"It only fails in prod"**: Gather prod evidence, do not invent local myths. - **Minimal repro first**: A minimal reproduction beats more random fixes. ## Anti-Patterns - **No shotgun debugging**: Prove root cause before changing code. - **No debug prints in production**: Remove all print/console.log before commit. …
