# Recent Code Bugfix

## Overview

Find a bug introduced by the current author in the last week, implement a fix, and verify it when possible. Operate in the current working directory, assume the code is local, and ensure the root cause is tied directly to the author’s own edits.

## Workflow

### 1) Establish the recent-change scope

Use Git to identify the author and changed files from the last week.

- Determine the author from `git config user.name`/`user.email`. If unavailable, use the current user’s name from the environment or ask once.
- Use `git log --since=1.week --author=<author>` to list recent commits and files. Focus on files touched by those commits.
- If the user’s prompt is empty, proceed directly with this default scope.

### 2) Find a concrete failure tied to recent changes

Prioritize defects that are directly attributable to the author’s edits.

- Look for recent failures (tests, lint, runtime errors) if logs or CI outputs are available locally.
- If no failures are provided, run the smallest relevant verification (single test, file-level lint, or targeted repro) that touches the edited files.
- Confirm the root cause is directly connected to the author’s changes, not unrelated legacy issues. If only unrelated failures are found, stop and report that no qualifying bug was detected.

### 3) Implement the fix

Make a minimal fix that aligns with project conventions.

- Update only the files needed to resolve the issue.
- Avoid adding extra defensive checks or unrelated refactors.
- Keep changes consistent with local style and tests.

### 4) Verify

Attempt verification when possible.

- Prefer the smallest validation step (targeted test, focused lint, or direct repro command).
- If verification cannot be run, state what would be run and why it wasn’t executed.

### 5) Report

Summarize the root cause, the fix, and the verification performed. Make it explicit how the root cause ties to the author’s recent changes.
