Use when a bug was recently introduced but you don't know which commit caused it.

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

## Purpose

When a feature used to work but is now broken, do not guess what broke it. Use binary search through git history to find the exact commit, then read the root cause out of that commit's diff.

## When to Use

- A regression appeared and the offending commit is unknown
- A bug is reported "since some release" with a wide commit range
- A deterministic repro command exists or can be built

## Inputs

- A test command that returns exit code `0` if good and non-zero if bad (e.g., `npm run test:repro` or `node repro.js`)
- A known-good ref and a known-bad ref (typically `HEAD`)

## Workflow

1. **Define the test.** You must have a single command that returns exit code `0` if good, and non-zero if bad. If none exists, build one first (see `minimal-reproduction`).

2. **Find a known good state.** Ask the user or search git history for a commit where you are certain the feature worked (a release tag is a good candidate). Verify it by running the test on it.

3. **Find the known bad state.** Typically `HEAD`.

4. **Bisect automatically:**

   ```bash
   git bisect start <bad> <good>
   git bisect run npm run test:repro    # or: git bisect run node repro.js
…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add yeaight7/agent-powerups/regression-bisecting@sha256:9501c87667b79dc9

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260606.dba470d, 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.
