Concrete debugging playbook for the AIDE stack — reproduce minimally, instrument at the boundary, diff pass-vs-fail, one hypothesis at a time. Includes this repo's verified traps (workdir-less commands, chained destructive calls, stale refs, silent EADDRINUSE, LSP null shapes, TDZ ordering, dynamic DOM ids). Use whenever anything misbehaves.
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
# Debugging Discipline ## The Loop 1. REPRODUCE minimally 2. INSTRUMENT at the boundary (log exact bytes, not summaries) 3. DIFF pass vs fail — one variable at a time 4. FIX root cause 5. REGRESSION-TEST the trap 6. ENCODE the lesson here ## Verified Traps | Trap | Symptom | Law | |---|---|---| | Workdir-less commands | Cannot find module E:\app.js | ALWAYS set workdir on repo-relative commands | | Chained kill+relaunch | Stack dies mid-sequence, stale logs lie | ONE destructive action per call; verify zero between steps | | Detached stdio ignore | Child produces no output; crashes invisible | Use pipe for stderr during debugging; switch to ignore only after stable | | Stale origin/main ref | "Everything up-to-date" while remote is behind | git ls-remote is truth | | .git/index.lock after abort | Commit fails "index.lock exists" | Remove stale lock after verifying no git proc running | | Silent EADDRINUSE | New server dies, old zombie answers with old code | taskkill ALL, verify zero, THEN relaunch | | LSP null vs error | result:null = valid empty; error object = bug | Treat differently | …

How to install
mdr add anonymousnomad/aide-sovereign-workbench/aide-debugging-discipline@sha256:7f2ab6ed1720b4f3The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260908.e9ac98d, 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.
