meta-debuglisted

Reproduce-first debugging workflow that diagnoses and fixes errors with targeted local evidence, bounded hypotheses, conditional helpers, two fix attempts maximum, and focused verification. Use when the user provides an error, stack trace, failing command, compiler output, failing test, unexpected behavior, or asks to debug, diagnose, or fix a concrete failure. Do not use for feature implementation, general code review, speculative refactoring, or questions without an observed failure.

# meta-debug Debug the current user-reported failure. ## Objective Find the root cause, apply the smallest safe fix, and prove it with the original reproducer or the closest deterministic check. `REPRODUCE/ROUTE -> DIAGNOSE -> FIX -> VERIFY/OUTPUT` For FAST work, do not print phase headers. For STANDARD and DEEP work, print one compact progress line per phase. Do not narrate skipped helpers or routine reads. ## Profiles Select the lowest profile that covers the uncertainty and blast radius. | Profile | Use when | Hypothesis cap | Total helper cap | In-progress checks | |---|---|---|---|---| | FAST | Syntax error, missing import, obvious type mismatch, or single failing assertion with a clear local cause | No register | 0 | 0 | | STANDARD | Clear stack trace, runtime error, config failure, dependency issue, or failing test requiring targeted investigation | 3 | 1 | 0 | | DEEP | Concurrency, performance regression, missing or misleading stack trace, cross-module state, code generation, architecture-level failure, or genuinely unfamiliar behavior | 4 | 2 | At most 1 discriminating check | Helper caps cover the entire run. A failed helper still consumes its slot. File count alone does not select DEEP. ## Phase 1 - REPRODUCE/ROUTE 1. Extract the exact error, failing command, relevant file and line, stack frames, version, and environment clues from the user input. 2. Choose the smallest deterministic reproducer: the named failing test, compiler target, command, request,
