Locate the cause of a DeepReason defect from the typed record, not from code reading. Produces DIAGNOSIS.md naming one primary cause with evidence pointers. Use only after GOAL.md exists.

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

# Diagnose from the record

Input: GOAL.md. Output: DIAGNOSIS.md naming ONE primary cause. You
read the record first and the code second. You change nothing.

## Step 1 — run the stop report, and open DIAGNOSIS.md with it

Run this before reading any code, any log, and any run-config file:

    deepreason stop-report <root-or-home>

Paste its section 4 (`THE STOP, CLASSIFIED`) verbatim as the FIRST
section of DIAGNOSIS.md, before writing anything of your own. Cite a
report line by section number for every claim naming a defect, a seat, or
a model as the cause.

GATE, run before you commit DIAGNOSIS.md:

    grep -q "THE STOP, CLASSIFIED" DIAGNOSIS.md

Exit 0 = pass. Exit 1 = the phase is `not-done`; STOP and report that.

The report accepts three source kinds, so a run that never opened a log
still has one: a run root, a run directory that compiled a manifest and
failed its qualification gate (`root-no-log`), and a home whose
qualification is cached (`home-no-root`).

When the failure has no run root and no home at all — a smoke harness, a
build, a tool — write one line in DIAGNOSIS.md naming which of the three
…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add ahepi/deepreason/dr-diagnose@sha256:76f95e71f64398a7

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260903.d23eb93, 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.
