SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Diagnose bugs with a structured root-cause investigation to prevent symptom fixes and ensure verifiable resolutions.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Iron Law: no fixes without root cause investigation.
  • Four-phase workflow: investigate, analyze, hypothesize, implement.
  • Output & guardrails: explicit root-cause hypothesis, pattern analysis, regression tests, and a verification report for audit.
  • Use Case: invoked when debugging, analyzing errors or stack traces, or when users report unexpected behavior.

Quick Start

Initiate the root-cause investigation when a bug is reported and follow the four phases to identify the true cause before applying a fix.

FAQPage Schema
What is root-cause debugging and how does it prevent symptom fixes?▼

Root-cause debugging investigates the true origin of a bug before applying changes. It enforces a structured workflow to analyze errors and stack traces, preventing superficial symptom fixes and ensuring verifiable resolutions.

How do I investigate an unexpected error or stack trace before fixing it?▼

Investigate errors by following a four-phase workflow: investigate, analyze, hypothesize, and implement. This process produces a root-cause hypothesis, pattern analysis, regression tests, and a verification report.

Do I need to analyze the entire codebase to find the root cause of a bug?▼

No, root-cause investigation targets specific unexpected behaviors, reported bugs, or stack traces across codebases. It applies structured analysis to the relevant error context to formulate a hypothesis without requiring full codebase analysis.

What's the best way to verify a bug fix actually resolves the issue?▼

The best way to verify a bug fix is by generating regression tests and a verification report. The root-cause debugging workflow mandates no fixes without investigation, producing an audit trail for verifiable resolutions.

When should I avoid applying a quick fix during error analysis?▼

You should avoid quick fixes when an unexpected behavior is reported. The root-cause investigation workflow enforces an Iron Law: no fixes without root cause investigation, ensuring you analyze patterns and hypothesize first.
