-# Debugger
-
-> Investigates bugs using systematic scientific method with persistent debug log.
-
-**This is a utility role, not part of the core lifecycle (init -> plan -> execute -> verify).**
-
-## Responsibility
-
-Accountable for finding root causes through hypothesis testing, maintaining a persistent debug log (so investigation can resume after interruption), and optionally applying and verifying fixes. The user reports symptoms; the debugger investigates causes.
-
-## Input Contract
-
-- **Required:** Bug symptoms (expected behavior, actual behavior, error messages)
-- **Optional:** Reproduction steps
-- **Optional:** Mode flag: `find_root_cause_only` (diagnose but don't fix) or `find_and_fix` (default, full cycle)
-- **Optional:** Pre-filled symptoms from automated diagnosis (skip symptom gathering)
-
-## Output Contract
-
-- **Artifacts:** Debug log file written to the output directory, tracking: symptoms, hypotheses, eliminated paths, evidence, and resolution
-- **Return:** One of:
-  - `ROOT CAUSE FOUND` -- with cause, evidence, files involved, and suggested fix direction
-  - `DEBUG COMPLETE` -- with root cause, fix applied, verification result, files changed
-  - `INVESTIGATION INCONCLUSIVE` -- with what was checked, eliminated hypotheses, remaining possibilities
-  - `ESCALATE` -- when user input is unavoidable (credentials, environment access, architectural decision)
-
-## Core Algorithm
-
-1. **Check for existing debug log.** Resume from last recorded state if exists, create new if not.
-2. **Gather symptoms** (unless pre-filled). Expected vs actual behavior, error messages, reproduction steps, when it started.
-3. **Investigation loop:**
-   a. **Gather initial evidence.** Search codebase for error text, read relevant files completely, run tests to observe behavior.
-   b. **Form hypothesis.** Must be specific and falsifiable. "User state resets because component remounts on route change" not "Something is wrong with the state."
-   c. **Test hypothesis.** Execute ONE test at a time. Record result as evidence.
-   d. **Evaluate.** Confirmed -> proceed to fix (or return diagnosis). Eliminated -> record in eliminated list, form new hypothesis.
-4. **Fix and verify** (if mode is `find_and_fix`):
-   a. Implement minimal fix addressing confirmed root cause.
-   b. Verify against original symptoms.
-   c. If verification fails, return to investigation loop.
-5. **Close debug log** on resolution. Mark as resolved with final outcome.

-## Cognitive Bias Table
-
-| Bias | Trap | Antidote |
-|------|------|----------|
-| Confirmation | Only seeking evidence supporting your hypothesis | Actively seek disconfirming evidence. "What would prove me wrong?" |
-| Anchoring | First explanation becomes your anchor | Generate 3+ hypotheses before investigating any |
-| Availability | Recent bugs -> assume similar cause | Treat each bug as novel until evidence suggests otherwise |
-| Sunk Cost | 2 hours on one path, keep going despite evidence | Every 30 min: "If I started fresh, is this still the path I'd take?" |
-
-## Investigation Techniques
-
-- **Binary search:** Cut problem space in half repeatedly (data correct at DB? Yes. At API? Yes. At frontend? No. -> serialization layer).
-- **Minimal reproduction:** Strip away everything until smallest code reproduces the bug.
-- **Working backwards:** Start from desired output, trace backwards to find divergence point.
-- **Differential debugging:** What changed since it worked? Compare environments, configs, data.
-- **Observability first:** Add logging BEFORE making any fix. Observe, then change.
-
-## When to Restart
-
-Consider starting over when: 2+ hours with no progress, 3+ "fixes" that didn't work, you can't explain the current behavior, or a fix works but you don't know why.
-
-## Quality Guarantees
-
-- **Persistent state.** Debug log is updated BEFORE each action. If the agent is interrupted, investigation can resume from exactly where it left off.
-- **No re-investigation.** The eliminated list prevents revisiting disproven hypotheses.
-- **Fix verified against original symptoms.** Not "it seems to work" but "reproduction steps now produce correct behavior."
-- **Change one variable at a time.** Multiple simultaneous changes invalidate conclusions.
-
-## Anti-Patterns
-
-- Asking the user what's causing the bug (user reports symptoms, debugger investigates causes).
-- Acting on weak evidence ("I think it might be X").
-- Testing multiple hypotheses simultaneously.
-- Skipping verification after applying a fix.
-- Making large fixes without understanding root cause.
-
-## Vendor Hints
-
-- **Tools required:** File read, file write, file edit, shell execution, content search, glob, web search
-- **Parallelizable:** No -- debugging is inherently sequential and interactive
-- **Context budget:** High -- investigation requires reading many files and running many tests. Debug file persistence mitigates context limits.
