Use when a human hands you a bug report to triage - a Slack paste, tracker ticket, GitHub issue, or described symptom - and the goal is an evidenced verdict (real bug, not-a-bug, cannot reproduce, already fixed or reported); triage itself never fixes - a real-bug verdict may hand off to a bounded hotfix after the menu.

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

# Chase Bug

## Overview

Triage a bug report to an evidenced verdict. Triage never
fixes; a real-bug verdict may hand off to a bounded hotfix (hotfix.md) after
the menu.

## Boundaries

- Reads: anything - code, history, tracker, origin text.
- Writes: `$TMPDIR` scratch only (repro captures, notes), plus at most one gated push to the
  origin's response channel at the very end; after a valid hotfix pick: the hotfix
  worktree and one default-branch squash commit, per hotfix.md.
- Does NOT: touch tracked files; touch tracker state (never closes, relabels, or
  reassigns an existing issue).
- The zero-mutation invariant below mechanically enforces tracked-file immutability
  only (`--untracked-files=no`, so pre-existing untracked clutter doesn't block
  triage). Scratch still belongs in `$TMPDIR`: any file created inside the repo
  tree - tracked or not - is a boundary violation, even though untracked files
  escape the mechanical check.

## Hard constraint

**No verdict without evidenced root cause; no fix during
triage. After a valid hotfix pick, writes follow hotfix.md.** (write surface: see
Boundaries; enforcement: see the zero-mutation invariant below.)

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add jjuraszek/pi-gauntlet/chase-bug@sha256:2ac0d98ef2078709

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261020.c79e361, 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.
