Debug Helper
Help me debug this issue systematically:
Problem Description
First, help me clearly describe:
- What's happening? (the symptom)
- What should happen? (expected behavior)
- When did it start? (recent changes?)
- How to reproduce? (steps)
Gather Information
Let's collect data:
- Error messages (exact text)
- Relevant logs
- Stack traces
- Environment details
- Recent code changes
Form Hypotheses
Based on symptoms, brainstorm:
- What could cause this?
- What's the most likely cause?
- What evidence supports/refutes each hypothesis?
Investigation Plan
For each hypothesis:
- How can we test it?
- What would confirm/disprove it?
- What's the fastest way to check?
Systematic Debugging
Guide through:
- Binary search debugging (narrow down)
- Adding strategic logging
- Isolating components
- Testing assumptions
Resolution
Once found:
- Confirm root cause
- Implement fix
- Add tests to prevent regression
- Document for future reference
Walk me through this process step by step.
