11
- ## The Investigation Contract
12
-
13
- > "A fix without a root cause is a patch on a symptom. It will fail again."
14
-
15
- The `debugger` agent follows this sequence **without skipping steps**:
16
-
17
- 1. Collect all evidence first
18
- 2. Generate ranked hypotheses
19
- 3. Test exactly one hypothesis at a time
20
- 4. Confirm root cause with evidence
21
- 5. Apply the minimum targeted fix
22
- 6. Add a regression test to prevent recurrence
23
-
24
- ---
25
-
26
- ## When to Use /debug
27
-
28
- | Use `/debug` when... | Use something else when... |
29
- |:---|:---|
30
- | There's a specific error or unexpected behavior | Code needs to be written → `/generate` |
31
- | You have a stack trace or error message | Code quality needs improving → `/refactor` |
32
- | Production is broken right now | Missing test coverage → `/test` |
33
- | A bug reappears after being "fixed" | Full health check needed → `/audit` |
34
-
35
- ---
36
-
37
- ## Step 1 — Evidence Collection (Collect All Before Hypothesizing)
38
-
39
- ```
40
- □ Exact error text — full stack trace, not a paraphrase
41
- □ Minimum reproduction steps — fewest actions that trigger the bug
42
- □ Last known-good state — commit hash, date, or config snapshot
43
- □ Recent changes — code, deps, env vars, infra, config changes
44
- □ Environment — local/staging/prod, OS, Node version, browser, runtime
45
- □ Frequency — always / intermittent / only under load / production only
46
- ```
47
-
48
- > ⚠️ If the error is intermittent: collect timing patterns before hypothesizing.
49
-
50
- ### Priority Investigation Order (Most Likely Root Cause First)
51
-
52
- ```
53
- 1. Recent deployments — 90% of outages are caused by recent changes
54
- 2. Environment variables — rotated/missing secrets are common silent failures
55
- 3. Dependency updates — a package update can break APIs without errors
56
- 4. Infrastructure — firewall, Security Groups, DB connection limits
57
- 5. Application code — last to check, easiest to blame prematurely
58
- ```
59
-
60
- ---
61
-
62
- ## Step 2 — Hypothesis Formation
63
-
64
- Map all possible causes with explicit likelihood labels:
65
-
66
- ```
67
- ROOT CAUSE CANDIDATES
68
- ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
69
- H1 [High] — [cause] — Evidence: [what points to this]
70
- H2 [Medium] — [cause] — Evidence: [what is consistent with this]
71
- H3 [Low] — [cause] — Evidence: [theoretically possible]
72
- ```
73
-
74
- **Never state a hypothesis as confirmed fact until Step 3 proves it.**
75
-
76
- ---
77
-
78
- ## Step 3 — Single-Hypothesis Testing
79
-
80
- Test **one at a time**. Never test two simultaneously — results become ambiguous.
81
-
82
- ```
83
- H1 tested: [how it was investigated]
84
- Result: ✅ Confirmed | ❌ Ruled out — [specific evidence against]
85
-
86
- H2 tested: [how it was investigated]
87
- Result: ✅ Confirmed | ❌ Ruled out — [reason]
88
- ```
89
-
90
- Stop when the first hypothesis is confirmed. Do not continue investigating eliminated causes.
91
-
92
- ---
93
-
94
- ## Step 4 — Root Cause Statement
95
-
96
- The root cause is one sentence: **WHY this happened**, not WHAT happened.
97
-
98
- ```
99
- ✅ "JWT verification was skipped when Authorization header used lowercase 'bearer'
100
- because the header check was case-sensitive"
101
-
102
- ❌ "The API returned 401" — This is the symptom, not the root cause
103
- ```
104
-
105
- ---
106
-
107
- ## Step 5 — Fix + Regression Prevention

- ## Hallucination Guard
155
-
156
- ```
157
- ❌ Never propose a fix before root cause is confirmed with evidence
158
- ❌ Never test two hypotheses simultaneously
159
- ❌ Never propose a "rewrite" as a debug session
160
- ❌ Never leave console.log in the proposed fix
161
- ❌ Never assume the error message accurately describes the actual cause
162
- ❌ Never use real API methods without verifying they exist in this version

170
- |:---|:---|
171
- | Root cause confirmed, fix ready | `/generate` to write fix through Tribunal |
172
- | Multiple files need changing | `/enhance` for impact-zone analysis |
173
- | Missing test allowed this bug in | `/test` to add regression coverage |
174
- | Performance was the root cause | `/tribunal-performance` |
175
- | Security vulnerability found | `/audit` to find other instances |

181
- ```
182
- /debug TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined reading 'id'
183
- /debug API returns 500 only in production environment
184

11
+ ## The Investigation Contract
12
+
13
+ "A fix without a root cause is a patch on a symptom. It will fail again."
14
+
15
+ The `debugger` agent follows this sequence **without skipping steps**:
16
+
17
+ 1. Collect all evidence first
18
+ 2. Generate ranked hypotheses
19
+ 3. Test exactly one hypothesis at a time
20
+ 4. Confirm root cause with evidence
21
+ 5. Apply the minimum targeted fix
22
+ 6. Add a regression test to prevent recurrence
23
+
24
+ ---
25
+
26
+ ## When to Use /debug
27
+
28
+ |Use `/debug` when...|Use something else when...|
29
+ |:---|:---|
30
+ |There's a specific error or unexpected behavior|Code needs to be written → `/generate`|
31
+ |You have a stack trace or error message|Code quality needs improving → `/refactor`|
32
+ |Production is broken right now|Missing test coverage → `/test`|
33
+ |A bug reappears after being "fixed"|Full health check needed → `/audit`|
34
+
35
+ ---
36
+
37
+ ## Step 1 — Evidence Collection (Collect All Before Hypothesizing)
38
+
39
+ ```
40
+ □ Exact error text — full stack trace, not a paraphrase
41
+ □ Minimum reproduction steps — fewest actions that trigger the bug
42
+ □ Last known-good state — commit hash, date, or config snapshot
43
+ □ Recent changes — code, deps, env vars, infra, config changes
44
+ □ Environment — local/staging/prod, OS, Node version, browser, runtime
45
+ □ Frequency — always / intermittent / only under load / production only
46
+ ```
47
+
48
+ > ⚠️ If the error is intermittent: collect timing patterns before hypothesizing.
49
+
50
+ ### Priority Investigation Order (Most Likely Root Cause First)
51
+
52
+ ```
53
+ 1. Recent deployments — 90% of outages are caused by recent changes
54
+ 2. Environment variables — rotated/missing secrets are common silent failures
55
+ 3. Dependency updates — a package update can break APIs without errors
56
+ 4. Infrastructure — firewall, Security Groups, DB connection limits
57
+ 5. Application code — last to check, easiest to blame prematurely
58
+ ```
59
+
60
+ ---
61
+
62
+ ## Step 2 — Hypothesis Formation
63
+
64
+ Map all possible causes with explicit likelihood labels:
65
+
66
+ ```
67
+ ROOT CAUSE CANDIDATES
68
+ ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
69
+ H1 [High] — [cause] — Evidence: [what points to this]
70
+ H2 [Medium] — [cause] — Evidence: [what is consistent with this]
71
+ H3 [Low] — [cause] — Evidence: [theoretically possible]
72
+ ```
73
+
74
+ **Never state a hypothesis as confirmed fact until Step 3 proves it.**
75
+
76
+ ---
77
+
78
+ ## Step 3 — Single-Hypothesis Testing
79
+
80
+ Test **one at a time**. Never test two simultaneously — results become ambiguous.
81
+
82
+ ```
83
+ H1 tested: [how it was investigated]
84
+ Result: ✅ Confirmed | ❌ Ruled out — [specific evidence against]
85
+
86
+ H2 tested: [how it was investigated]
87
+ Result: ✅ Confirmed | ❌ Ruled out — [reason]
88
+ ```
89
+
90
+ Stop when the first hypothesis is confirmed. Do not continue investigating eliminated causes.
91
+
92
+ ---
93
+
94
+ ## Step 4 — Root Cause Statement
95
+
96
+ The root cause is one sentence: **WHY this happened**, not WHAT happened.
97
+
98
+ ```
99
+ ✅ "JWT verification was skipped when Authorization header used lowercase 'bearer'
100
+ because the header check was case-sensitive"
101
+
102
+ ❌ "The API returned 401" — This is the symptom, not the root cause
103
+ ```
104
+
105
+ ---
106
+
107
+ ## Step 5 — Fix + Regression Prevention
108
+
109
+ ```
110
+ Targeted fix: The minimum change that eliminates the root cause
111
+ Regression test: A specific test that will catch this exact failure if it returns
112
+ Similar patterns: Other locations in the codebase to audit for the same issue
113
+ Debug cleanup: All console.log/temporary changes removed from proposed fix
