Debugging

1. Establish expected versus actual behavior from existing errors, logs, and code. Build a small reproduction when useful; do not ask for information already given.
2. Rank plausible causes and choose a focused probe that distinguishes them. Inspect boundary inputs, recent relevant diffs, or execution state as needed.
3. Fix the demonstrated cause with a small change. Stop blind retry loops and avoid broad refactoring while resolving a bug.
4. Add regression coverage for meaningful behavioral failures when practical. Use shared verification to choose checks.
5. Report the cause, changed behavior, evidence, and any remaining uncertainty.

Use backprop only when an existing spec needs a bug record or invariant update. No spec creation, mandatory full suite, or separate review is required for a routine fix.
