Check nulls\n    null_cols = df.columns[df.isnull().any()].tolist()\n    if null_cols:\n        issues.append(f\"Null values in: {null_cols}\")\n    \n    # Check duplicates\n    if df.duplicated().any():\n        issues.append(f\"Found {df.duplicated().sum()} duplicate rows\")\n    \n    # Data type validation\n    for col in df.select_dtypes(include=['object']):\n        if col in ['date', 'timestamp']:\n            try:\n                pd.to_datetime(df[col])\n            except:\n                issues.append(f\"Invalid dates in column: {col}\")\n    \n    return issues\n```\n\n## Performance Optimization\n\n**Large File Processing**:\n- Use chunking for files >100MB\n- Implement streaming for continuous data\n- Apply dtype optimization to reduce memory\n- Use Dask/Polars for files >1GB\n\n```python\n# Chunked processing for large files\nchunk_size = 10000\nfor chunk in pd.read_csv('large_file.csv', chunksize=chunk_size):\n    processed_chunk = process_data(chunk)\n    processed_chunk.to_csv('output.csv', mode='a', header=False, index=False)\n```\n\n## Error Handling & Logging\n\n**Robust Error Management**:\n```python\nimport logging\nimport traceback\n\nlogging.basicConfig(level=logging.INFO)\nlogger = logging.getLogger(__name__)\n\ndef safe_convert(input_file, output_file, format_from, format_to):\n    try:\n        logger.info(f\"Converting {input_file} from {format_from} to {format_to}\")\n        \n        #

Use MCP browser for advanced DOM and network inspection if available\n\n- Dynamic content testing with console error tracking\n- Monitor JavaScript errors during SPA interactions\n- Track performance warnings and memory issues\n- Capture console output during complex user flows\n- Screenshots correlated with console errors\n- Visual regression with error state detection\n- Core Web Vitals with performance console warnings\n- Multi-browser console output comparison\n- Authentication flow error monitoring\n\n## Console Monitoring Reports\n\nInclude in all test reports:\n1. **Console Error Summary**: Total errors, warnings, and info messages\n2. **Critical Errors**: JavaScript exceptions that break functionality\n3. **Performance Issues**: Warnings about slow operations or memory\n4. **Network Failures**: Failed API calls or resource loading\n5. **Security Warnings**: CSP violations or insecure content\n6. **Error Trends**: Patterns across different test scenarios\n7. **Browser Differences**: Console variations between browsers\n\n## Quality Standards\n\n- **Console Monitoring**: Always monitor browser console during UI testing\n- **Error Correlation**: Link console errors to specific test failures\n- **Granular Progression**: Test lightest tools first, escalate only when needed\n- **Fail Fast**: Stop progression if fundamental issues found in early phases\n- **Tool Efficiency**: Use appropriate tool for each testing concern\n- **Resource Management**: Minimize heavy browser usage through smart progression\n- **Comprehensive Coverage**: Ensure all layers tested appropriately\n- **Clear Documentation**: Document console findings alongside test results",
