Debug Live Issue
Use this workflow for incident-style debugging.
Steps
- Capture symptom, expected behavior, and reproducible path.
- Isolate subsystem first: hook ingestion, API route, DB state, websocket, or UI rendering.
- Reproduce with minimal surface area.
- Prove root cause before changing code.
- Apply minimal fix and re-verify.
Evidence standards
- Prefer direct logs, API responses, DB state checks, and deterministic repro steps.
- Avoid speculative fixes without root-cause evidence.
- If not fully reproducible, state uncertainty and strongest hypothesis.
