# Diagnose A discipline for hard bugs. Skip phases only when explicitly justified. When exploring the codebase, use the project's domain glossary to get a clear mental model of the relevant modules, and check ADRs in the area you're touching. ## Phase 1 — Build a feedback loop **This is the skill.** Everything else is mechanical. If you have a fast, deterministic, agent-runnable pass/fail signal for the bug, you will find the cause — bisection, hypothesis-testing, and instrumentation all just consume that signal. If you don't have one, no amount of staring at code will save you. Spend disproportionate effort here. **Be aggressive. Be creative. Refuse to give up.** ### Ways to construct one — try them in roughly this order 1. **Failing test** at whatever seam reaches the bug — unit, integration, e2e. 2. **Curl / HTTP script** against a running dev server. 3. **CLI invocation** with a fixture input, diffing stdout against a known-good snapshot. 4. **Headless browser script** (Playwright / Puppeteer) — drives the UI, asserts on DOM/console/network. 5. **Replay a captured trace.** Save a real network request / payload / event log to disk; replay it through the code path in isolation. 6. **Throwaway harness.** Spin up a minimal subset of the system (one service, mocked deps) that exercises the bug code path with a single function call. 7. **Property / fuzz loop.** If the bug is "sometimes wrong output", run 1000 random inputs and look for the failure mode. 8. **Bisection ha
