From this point on, ignore any existing tests until you have a working example validated through a new test file.

1. Write a script that interacts with the application from the outside. The script should not call any internals. It should only interact with the external interfaces.
2. Check to see if you require authentication. If you do, ask me for credentials. Do NOT use mock mode or test harnesses. You should be testing the real thing.
3. Follow these steps in a loop until the bug is fixed:

• Add many logs to the application. You MUST do this on every loop.
• Run the debug script.
• Analyze the output: read logs, identify errors, do whatever you need to.
• Update the debug script. If you get stuck: did you add logs?

5. Identify and fix the issue at hand.
6. Clean up all background jobs, and remove extraneous logs.
7. Make sure other tests pass.
