+# Debug Scenario or Analysis
+
+When a user asks to debug a scenario or analysis (e.g., `/codeyam:diagnose [ID]`), use this systematic process.
+
+## Goal
+
+**Capture quality screenshots** by fixing all errors, then document what was wrong. Every issue can be fixed locally—the question is whether the fix is in the database (Categories 1-3) or in the tmp folder code (Category 4). Either way, you must capture screenshots before concluding.
+
+## Definition of Done
+
+**Debugging is NOT complete until one of these conditions is met:**
+
+1. **SUCCESS (Database Fix)**: Issue fixed via database/config changes, screenshots recaptured, ALL screenshot files verified on disk AND visually inspected
+2. **SUCCESS (File Fix)**: Issue fixed via tmp folder edits, screenshots recaptured with `--capture-only`, ALL screenshot files verified AND visually inspected, changes documented for CodeYam team
+3. **UNFIXABLE**: Issue cannot be fixed locally (rare), documented in final report with full details
+
+**CRITICAL: NEVER stop debugging before capturing quality screenshots.** Even if you identify the root cause as a "Category 4 engine bug", you MUST:
+
+1. Fix the issue manually in the tmp folder (this is always possible)
+2. Run `codeyam recapture --capture-only` to capture screenshots with your fixes in place
+3. Verify the screenshots show the component rendering correctly
+4. ONLY THEN document the engine bug for the CodeYam team
+
+Stopping after identifying a bug category without capturing screenshots defeats the purpose of debugging.
+
+## Critical: Persistence and User Communication
+
+**DO NOT give up prematurely.** Every issue can be fixed by editing files in the tmp folder. If you find yourself thinking:
+
+- "This requires an engine-level fix"
+- "This is blocked by a code generation bug"
+- "The engine doesn't properly handle X"
+
+**STOP.** These statements are incorrect. You have full access to edit any file in `/tmp/codeyam/local-dev/{slug}/project/`. The "engine" just wrote those files—they're plain TypeScript/JavaScript that you can edit directly.
+
+### Before Stopping or Concluding
+
+1. **Try at least 3 different approaches** to fix the issue
+2. **Never unilaterally decide to stop.** If you've been debugging and aren't making progress, ASK THE USER:
+   > "I've tried X, Y, and Z but haven't resolved the issue yet. Would you like me to continue investigating other approaches, or should I document what I've found so far?"
+3. **Only stop when the user agrees** or when you've successfully captured quality screenshots
+
+### The "Engine Bug" Misconception
+
+When you identify a Category 4 issue (code generation bug), this does NOT mean you're blocked. It means:
+
+- The bug is in how CodeYam generates code (useful info for the CodeYam team)
+- You MUST still fix it manually by editing files in the tmp folder
+- You MUST still capture quality screenshots
+- You document what you fixed so the CodeYam team can improve the engine
+
+**"Engine bug" is a diagnosis category, not an excuse to stop.**

+
+**Database:** The codeyam database relevant for this command should always be found in the repo where this command is called in the `.codeyam/db.sqlite3` file.
+
+**Logs:** Before debugging copy the original logs to a temorary location as the debugging will overwrite these logs and they are valuable for debugging issues.
+
+Original Logs Locaion: `/tmp/codeyam/local-dev/{slug}/codeyam/logs.txt`
+Temporary location: `/tmp/codeyam/local-dev/{slug}/debug/original-logs.txt`
+
+**Notice:** Both paths lead to "Recapture" and "Verify screenshots". There is no path that ends after just identifying a bug category. You must always capture quality screenshots before completing.
+

+
+## MANDATORY: Session Context (Do This First!)
+
+Long debugging sessions cause context loss. To prevent forgetting critical information:
+
+### Step 1: Create Session Context File
+
+At the **very start** of debugging, create `.codeyam/debug-session.md` in the **original project directory**:
+
+```markdown
+# Debug Session Context
+
+**IMPORTANT**: Keep a todo item "📍 Re-read debug session context" that is NEVER marked complete.
+If the todo disappears, add it back immediately.
+
+## Key Locations
+
+- **Original project**: [FULL PATH - run all codeyam commands here]
+- **Tmp folder**: /tmp/codeyam/local-dev/[SLUG]/project (edit files here, do NOT run codeyam commands)
+- **Database**: [ORIGINAL PROJECT]/.codeyam/db.sqlite3
+- **Logs**: /tmp/codeyam/local-dev/[SLUG]/codeyam/log.txt
+
+## IDs
+
+- **Analysis ID**: [ID]
+- **Scenario ID**: [ID]
+- **Entity**: [NAME] at [FILE PATH]
+
+## URLs (fill in after running codeyam debug)
+
+- **Scenario URL**: http://localhost:[PORT]/static/codeyam-sample
+- **Dev server port**: [PORT from codeyam debug output]
+
+## Commands Reference
+
+All commands run from: [ORIGINAL PROJECT PATH]
+
+- `codeyam debug [ANALYSIS_ID]` - regenerate files (overwrites tmp folder!)
+- `codeyam recapture [ID]` - regenerate AND capture (overwrites tmp folder!)
+- `codeyam recapture [ID] --capture-only` - capture WITHOUT regenerating (preserves your edits)
+- `codeyam test-startup` - test startup (overwrites tmp folder!)
+```
+
+### Step 2: Create Persistent Todo
+
+Use TodoWrite to create this todo list with the first item being a persistent reminder:
+
+```
+📍 Re-read .codeyam/debug-session.md before any codeyam command (NEVER complete this)
+```
+
+**CRITICAL**: The first todo item must NEVER be marked as completed. It serves as a constant reminder to check your session context before running commands. If you accidentally complete it or it disappears, add it back immediately.
+
+### Step 3: Read Context Before Actions
+
+**Before running ANY of these commands**, re-read `.codeyam/debug-session.md`:
+
+- `codeyam debug`
+- `codeyam recapture`
+- `codeyam test-startup`
+- Any database queries
+
+This prevents running commands from the wrong directory or forgetting key IDs.
+
+---
+
+## Critical: Where to Run Commands
+
+**All `codeyam` commands MUST be run from the ORIGINAL PROJECT DIRECTORY**, not from the tmp folder.
+
+| Location                                                               | What's There                                                   | Run Commands Here?                                |
+| ---------------------------------------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------- |
+| **Original project** (e.g., `/Users/.../clients-codeyam/boltwise/app`) | Database (`.codeyam/db.sqlite3`), config, universal mocks      | **YES - run all codeyam commands here**           |
+| **Tmp folder** (`/tmp/codeyam/local-dev/{slug}/project/`)              | Copy of project with mock injections, generated scenario files | **NO - only edit files here, don't run commands** |
+
+**Common mistake:** Running `codeyam recapture` from the tmp folder. This will fail with "Not in a CodeYam project" because the database doesn't exist there.
+
+```bash
+# WRONG - running from tmp folder
+cd /tmp/codeyam/local-dev/boltwise-app/project
+codeyam recapture abc123  # ❌ Fails: "Not in a CodeYam project"
+
+# CORRECT - running from original project directory
+cd /Users/jaredcosulich/workspace/codeyam/clients-codeyam/boltwise/app
+codeyam recapture abc123  # ✅ Works
+```
+
+**Workflow:**
+
+1. Edit files in `/tmp/codeyam/local-dev/{slug}/project/` to fix issues
+2. Test by curling the dev server running from the tmp folder
+3. **Switch back to the original project directory** to run `codeyam recapture`
+
+---
+
+## What You Can and Cannot Modify
+
+**NEVER modify the client's original source code in the workspace.** Only modify files in the tmp folder.
+
+### CRITICAL: Fix the Mocks, Never the Client Code
+
+When debugging errors, the fix is ALWAYS in the mock data or mock code—never in the client's components or application code.
+
+**If a component crashes due to unexpected data:**
+
+- Fix the mock data to provide what the component expects
+- Do NOT modify the component to handle the bad data
+
+**The client's code is sacred.** Our job is to make the simulation environment correct, not to "improve" or "harden" the client's code. Even if a component could be more defensive, that's not our fix to make.
+
+**You CAN modify:**
+
+- Data in the local SQLite database (`.codeyam/db.sqlite3`) - in the **original project directory**
+- Universal mocks in `.codeyam/universal-mocks` - in the **original project directory**
+- **Files in `/tmp/codeyam/local-dev/{slug}/project/`** - These are temporary copies used for simulation
+  - Generated mock files in `__codeyamMocks__/` directories
+  - Layout/route files that wrap scenarios
+  - Any generated code that has errors
+- Mock data files for testing
+
+**IMPORTANT**: When you edit files in the tmp folder, you MUST use `codeyam recapture --capture-only` when recapturing, otherwise your changes will be overwritten! Be sure to address all issues so that the simulation runs correctly. Then, if one of the issues required editing code in the tmp directory you MUST use `codeyam recapture --capture-only`, but if only data was changed then as long as that data is updated in the local database as well you can run `codeyam recapture` and have the system overwrite the tmp project code and use the valid data from the database.
+
+---
+
+## Step 0: Check for Other Failing Scenarios (MANDATORY FIRST STEP)
+
+**DO NOT run `codeyam debug` yet!** First, query the database to check if other scenarios in the same analysis are also failing.
+
+```bash
+# First, get the analysis ID (if you have a scenario ID)
+sqlite3 .codeyam/db.sqlite3 "SELECT analysis_id FROM scenarios WHERE id = 'SCENARIO_ID'"
+
+# Then check ALL scenarios for that analysis
+sqlite3 .codeyam/db.sqlite3 "
+SELECT
+  s.id,
+  s.name,
+  json_extract(s.metadata, '$.screenshotPaths') as screenshots
+FROM scenarios s
+WHERE s.analysis_id = 'ANALYSIS_ID'
+"
+
+# Check for errors in scenario status
+sqlite3 .codeyam/db.sqlite3 "
+SELECT json_extract(status, '$.scenarios') FROM analyses WHERE id = 'ANALYSIS_ID'
+"
+```
+
+**If multiple scenarios are failing, ASK THE USER** whether to fix just the requested scenario or all failing scenarios.
+
+### Check for Client-Side Errors in Screenshots
+
+**IMPORTANT:** Even if the database shows no errors and screenshots exist, the scenario may still have a client-side error. Use the Read tool to view the screenshot file and check for:
+
+- Red error boundaries or error messages in the rendered UI
+- "Something went wrong" or similar error text
+- Blank/white screens that should have content
+- React error overlays
+
+```bash
+# View the screenshot to check for client-side errors
+# Use the Read tool on the screenshot path from the database
+```
+
+If the screenshot shows a client-side error, proceed to Step 1 to debug it.
+
+---
+
+## Step 1: Run Debug Command
+
+```bash
+codeyam debug ANALYSIS_ID
+```
+
+Output includes:
+
+- **Project path**: `/tmp/codeyam/local-dev/{slug}/project`
+- **Start command**: How to run the dev server
+- **URL**: Where to access the scenario
+- **Log path**: Where to watch for errors
+
+---
+
+## Step 2: Identify the Error Type
+
+Read the log file or error output to categorize the issue:
+
+| Error Type                         | Symptoms                            | Likely Category                          |
+| ---------------------------------- | ----------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------- |
+| **Syntax error in generated file** | `Unexpected token`, `Parse error`   | Category 4 (mock code writing)           |
+| **Runtime error**                  | `TypeError`, `ReferenceError`       | Category 1-3 (data issue) or 4           |
+| **Missing mock**                   | `Cannot read property of undefined` | Category 1-2 (missing in data structure) |
+| **Wrong mock type**                | `X is not a function`               | Category 3-4 (wrong data or mock code)   |
+
+---
+
+## Step 3: Diagnose Root Cause Category
+
+This is the most important step. Determine WHERE in the pipeline the bug originated.
+
+### The 4 Error Categories
+
+| Category | What's Wrong                                         | Where to Check            | Fixable Locally?              |
+| -------- | ---------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------- | ----------------------------- |
+| **1**    | Missing attribute in `isolatedDataStructure`         | `entities.metadata`       | Sometimes (re-analyze)        |
+| **2**    | Attribute not merged into `mergedDataStructure`      | `analyses.metadata`       | Sometimes (re-analyze)        |
+| **3**    | Data structure complete, but scenario data wrong     | `scenarios.metadata`      | Yes (edit mockData)           |
+| **4**    | Data complete, but mock code/mock data written wrong | Generated files in `/tmp` | **Yes (edit files directly)** |
+
+### Diagnostic Queries
+
+```bash
+# Category 1: Check isolatedDataStructure
+# Is the attribute traced at all in the entity?
+sqlite3 .codeyam/db.sqlite3 \
+  "SELECT json_extract(metadata, '$.isolatedDataStructure') FROM entities WHERE sha = 'ENTITY_SHA'" \
+  | python3 -m json.tool
+
+# Category 2: Check mergedDataStructure
+# Was the attribute properly merged from dependencies?
+sqlite3 .codeyam/db.sqlite3 \
+  "SELECT json_extract(metadata, '$.mergedDataStructure') FROM analyses WHERE id = 'ANALYSIS_ID'" \
+  | python3 -m json.tool
+
+# Category 2 (also check): scenariosDataStructure
+sqlite3 .codeyam/db.sqlite3 \
+  "SELECT json_extract(metadata, '$.scenariosDataStructure') FROM analyses WHERE id = 'ANALYSIS_ID'" \
+  | python3 -m json.tool
+
+# Category 3: Check scenario mockData
+# Did the LLM generate correct mock data?
+sqlite3 .codeyam/db.sqlite3 \
+  "SELECT json_extract(metadata, '$.data.mockData') FROM scenarios WHERE id = 'SCENARIO_ID'" \
+  | python3 -m json.tool
+```
+
+### Diagnosis Flow
+
+1. **Start with the error** - What attribute/value is missing or wrong at runtime?
+2. **Check `isolatedDataStructure`** - Is the attribute traced in the entity? If missing → Category 1
+3. **Check `mergedDataStructure`** - Is the attribute present after merging? If missing → Category 2
+4. **Check `scenariosDataStructure`** - Is the data structure for mocks correct? If wrong → Category 2
+5. **Check scenario `mockData`** - Does the scenario have correct mock values? If wrong → Category 3
+6. **Check generated mock code** - Is the mock code syntactically/semantically correct? If wrong → **Category 4 (engine bug)**
+7. **Check generated imports** - Are the imports correct? Are entities containing environment variables mocked out? If wrong → **Category 4 (engine bug)**
+
+### Category 4 Indicators (Code Generation Issue)
+
+The issue is Category 4 if:
+
+- All data structures in the database look correct
+- The scenario's mockData has the right keys and values
+- BUT the generated mock code has syntax errors, wrong structure, or doesn't match the data
+- Database edits don't fix the generated code (it regenerates wrong)
+
+**Category 4 does NOT mean you are blocked.** You have full access to fix these issues:
+
+1. **Edit the files directly** in `/tmp/codeyam/local-dev/{slug}/project/`
+2. **Fix any syntax errors, wrong imports, missing mocks** - these are just TypeScript files
+3. **Restart the dev server** and verify the fix works
+4. **Capture quality screenshots** with `codeyam recapture --capture-only`
+5. **Document what you fixed** for the CodeYam team to improve the engine
+
+The term "engine bug" means the CodeYam code generation has a bug—it does NOT mean you cannot fix the issue locally. You always can.
+
+---
+
+## Step 4: Attempt Fix
+
+### For Categories 1-2 (Data Structure Issues)
+
+These usually require re-running analysis. You can try:
+
+```bash
+# Delete the analysis and re-analyze
+codeyam analyze --entity EntityName path/to/file.tsx
+```
+
+### For Category 3 (Scenario Data Issues)
+
+Fix the mockData directly in the database:
+
+```bash
+# Export metadata
+sqlite3 .codeyam/db.sqlite3 "SELECT metadata FROM scenarios WHERE id = 'SCENARIO_ID'" > /tmp/metadata.json
+
+# Edit with Python
+python3 << 'EOF'
+import json
+with open('/tmp/metadata.json') as f:
+    data = json.loads(f.read())
+
+# Fix the mockData
+data['data']['mockData']['keyName'] = {"fixed": "value"}
+
+with open('/tmp/metadata_fixed.json', 'w') as f:
+    f.write(json.dumps(data))
+EOF
+
+# Update database (use Python to avoid escaping issues)
+python3 << 'EOF'
+import sqlite3
+import json
+
+with open('/tmp/metadata_fixed.json') as f:
+    metadata = f.read()
+
+conn = sqlite3.connect('.codeyam/db.sqlite3')
+conn.execute("UPDATE scenarios SET metadata = ? WHERE id = 'SCENARIO_ID'", (metadata,))
+conn.commit()
+conn.close()
+EOF
+```
+
+### For Category 4 (Code Generation Issues)
+
+**MUST be fixed locally by editing files in the tmp folder.** This is a REQUIRED step, not optional.
+
+1. Go to Step 5a and fix all code issues in the tmp folder
+2. Verify the scenario loads correctly (curl returns 200)
+3. Run `codeyam recapture --capture-only` to capture screenshots (this preserves your fixes)
+4. Verify the screenshots look correct
+5. THEN document the engine bug in your final report
+
+**DO NOT stop after identifying a Category 4 issue.** The goal is to capture quality screenshots, then document what you fixed.
+
+### Universal Mocks (for infrastructure dependencies)
+
+You can use universal mocks to mock out functions that are not detected by the analysis (are not part of the dependency tree). This often includes things like middleware or functions that run on startup and require environment variables.
+
+## Quick Reference: Mock Path Decision Tree
+
+```
+Where is the error coming from?
+│
+├── node_modules package (e.g., @prisma/client, @supabase/supabase-js)
+│   └── Mock path: .codeyam/universal-mocks/node_modules/{package}.ts
+│       Example: .codeyam/universal-mocks/node_modules/@prisma/client.ts
+│
+└── Project file (e.g., lib/db.ts, packages/prisma/index.ts)
+    └── Mock path: .codeyam/universal-mocks/{same-path-as-original}
+        Example: .codeyam/universal-mocks/lib/db.ts
+        Example: .codeyam/universal-mocks/packages/prisma/index.ts
+```
+
+## Quick Reference: Mock Writing Rules
+
+**BEFORE writing any mock:**
+
+1. Read the original file first
+2. Note all its export names exactly
+
+**WHEN writing the mock:**
+
+1. Export names MUST match exactly (case-sensitive)
+2. ALL code MUST be inside exports (no helper variables outside)
+3. Keep it minimal - empty methods are fine
+
+**AFTER writing the mock:**
+
+```bash
+codeyam validate-mock .codeyam/universal-mocks/{path-to-your-mock}
+```
+
+---
+
+## Step 5: Verify Database Fixes Locally
+
+After making **database changes** (Categories 1-3):
+
+1. **Re-run `codeyam debug ID`** to regenerate scenario files with updated data
+2. **Start the dev server** and curl the URL to check for errors:
+   ```bash
+   curl -s http://localhost:3112/static/... | head -50
+   ```
+3. **Check for 200 response** (no `statusCode:500`)
+
+**If verification fails and you've already tried database fixes:** Proceed to Step 5a to fix code directly.
+
+---
+
+## Step 5a: Fix Code Issues in Tmp Folder (Category 4)
+
+If the error is in bad imports, generated code or mock files, you can fix them directly in the tmp folder.
+
+**REMINDER: Only fix GENERATED files (mocks, layouts, routes)—never the client's application code.** If a client component crashes, the fix is in the mock data or mock code, not in the component itself.
+
+### Locate the Problematic File
+
+Files are in `/tmp/codeyam/local-dev/{slug}/project/`. Common locations:
+
+- **Generated mocks**: `__codeyamMocks__/MockData_*.tsx` or `__codeyamMocks__/MockCode_*.tsx`
+- **Scenario layouts**: `app/static/{projectSlug}/{analysisId}/{entitySlug}/{scenarioSlug}/`
+- **Route files**: `app/routes/` or `pages/` depending on framework
+
+### Make the Fix
+
+Edit the problematic file directly using the Edit tool. Common fixes include:
+
+- **Syntax errors**: Fix missing brackets, commas, or quotes in generated code
+- **Wrong import paths**: Correct import statements
+- **Missing exports**: Add missing named or default exports
+- **Type errors**: Fix TypeScript type issues
+- **Wrong mock structure**: Adjust the shape of generated mock data
+
+### Track Your Changes (MANDATORY)
+
+For every file you edit, record:
+
+- The full file path
+- What you changed (brief description)
+- The before/after code (for the final report)
+
+### Verify Without Regenerating
+
+After editing files, **do NOT run `codeyam debug` again** (it would overwrite your changes).
+
+Instead, manually start the dev server:
+
+```bash
+cd /tmp/codeyam/local-dev/{slug}/project
+npm run dev  # or pnpm dev / yarn dev
+```
+
+Then verify the fix works. You can either:
+
+1. **Curl the URL** to check for errors:
+
+   ```bash
+   curl -s http://localhost:3112/static/codeyam-sample | head -50
+   ```
+
+2. **Ask the user to verify visually**: If the fix involves visual output or you're unsure if it worked, ask the user to visit the URL and confirm:
+
+   > "I've fixed the mock data. Can you visit http://localhost:3112/static/codeyam-sample and let me know if the component renders correctly now?"
+
+   This is especially useful for client-side rendering issues that curl won't catch.
+
+---
+
+## Change Tracking (MANDATORY)
+
+**You MUST track all changes for the final report.** This is essential for the CodeYam team to fix engine bugs.
+
+### Database Changes
+
+For each database modification, record:
+
+| Table       | Record ID | Field Path                   | Before    | After       |
+| ----------- | --------- | ---------------------------- | --------- | ----------- |
+| `scenarios` | `abc123`  | `metadata.data.mockData.key` | `"wrong"` | `"correct"` |
+
+### File Changes
+
+For each file modification in the tmp folder, record:
+
+| File Path                                            | Change Description                    |
+| ---------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------- |
+| `/tmp/.../project/__codeyamMocks__/MockData_xyz.tsx` | Fixed missing comma in object literal |
+
+Include the actual diff:
+
+```diff

++++ after
+@@ -10,3 +10,3 @@
+-  key: "value"
++  key: "value",
+   anotherKey: "value2"
+```
+
+---
+
+## Step 6: Recapture Screenshots
+
+**Only proceed here if Step 5 or 5a verification passed.**
+
+### Choose the Right Recapture Mode
+
+**If you only made DATABASE changes (Categories 1-3):**
+
+```bash
+codeyam recapture SCENARIO_ID
+```
+
+This will regenerate the tmp folder files using the updated database data, then capture screenshots.
+
+**If you made FILE changes in the tmp folder (Category 4):**
+
+```bash
+codeyam recapture SCENARIO_ID --capture-only
+```
+
+**CRITICAL**: The `--capture-only` flag preserves your manual file fixes. Without this flag, your changes would be overwritten!
+
+### Verify Files After Capture
+
+```bash
+# Check database for screenshot paths
+sqlite3 .codeyam/db.sqlite3 "SELECT name, json_extract(metadata, '$.screenshotPaths') FROM scenarios WHERE analysis_id = 'ANALYSIS_ID'"
+
+# Verify files actually exist
+find .codeyam/captures -name "*.png" -path "*ANALYSIS_ID*" -mmin -5
+```
+
+---
+
+## Step 7: Verify Screenshots for Client-Side Errors
+
+**IMPORTANT**: Even if capture completes successfully, the screenshots may show client-side errors!
+
+### View the Screenshots
+
+Use the Read tool to view each captured screenshot file:
+
+```bash
+# Get the screenshot path from the database
+sqlite3 .codeyam/db.sqlite3 "SELECT json_extract(metadata, '$.screenshotPaths[0]') FROM scenarios WHERE id = 'SCENARIO_ID'"
+```
+
+Then read the screenshot file to visually inspect it.
+
+### Check for These Issues
+
+- **Red error boundaries** or React error overlays
+- **"Something went wrong"** or similar error text
+- **Blank/white screens** that should have content
+- **Missing components** or broken layouts
+- **Console errors** shown in error overlays
+
+If the screenshot shows a dedicated 500 page with no clear error then you may want to find and comment out any error boundary logic that is catching errors and preventing you from easily reading them.
+
+### If Screenshot Shows Errors
+
+1. The fix didn't fully work - go back to Step 5 or 5a
+2. Check the log file for additional error details:
+   ```bash
+   tail -100 /tmp/codeyam/local-dev/{slug}/codeyam/log.txt
+   ```
+3. Fix the remaining issues
+4. Run recapture again (with `--capture-only` if you edited files)
+
+---
+
+## Final Debug Report (MANDATORY)
+
+**Always produce this report**, whether the issue was fixed or identified as an engine bug.
+

+
+## Saving and Uploading the Report (MANDATORY)
+
+After completing the debug session, **you MUST save the report**:
+
+1. **Write the report to file:**
+
+   ```bash
+   # Write the full "Debug Session Report" section above to this file
+   # Use the Write tool to save to:
+   .codeyam/debug-report.md
+   ```
+
+2. **Ask user if they want to upload:**
+   After saving, ask the user: "Would you like me to upload this debug report to CodeYam for the team to review?"
