# Reproduce & Verify Bug Diagnosis
Your task: **diagnose and fix a bug** using strict reproduce-verify discipline.
## Non-Negotiable Steps
1. **Reproduce the exact failure**: Run the failing command or scenario and capture the full output
- Do not skip or paraphrase the error
- Show your exact command and the complete output
- Include stderr and any stack traces
2. **Form ONE hypothesis at a time**: Pick one likely root cause and state your confidence
- High confidence: known issue, obvious pattern match, clear from stack trace
- Medium confidence: plausible but requires testing
- Low confidence: wild guess, needs exploration
- Do NOT propose multiple hypotheses in parallel
3. **Test each hypothesis with a concrete command** before acting
- Show what command tests it
- Show the output of that command
- Interpret the result: does it support or refute the hypothesis?
4. **Never claim a root cause you haven't verified** by reproducing the fixed state
- After your fix, run the original failing command or scenario again
- Paste the complete output showing success
- Confirm: "The originally failing scenario now works"
## What Counts as "Reproducing the Fixed State"
- The original command now exits with code 0 (or expected code)
- Error messages are gone
- The expected behavior occurs
- You show this proof explicitly
## Debugging Discipline
This approach prevents the common trap of:
- Running exploratory commands without a hypothesis
