Debugging Patterns

Overview

Provides structured frameworks for root cause analysis. The log-first methodology ensures evidence is gathered before hypotheses are formed.

Log-First Investigation

Read ALL available logs, error output, and stack traces
DO NOT form hypotheses before reading evidence
Identify the exact error: message, file, line, call stack
Determine reproduction steps from evidence
Check git log for recent changes correlating with bug introduction

Pattern-Based Diagnosis

Check patterns.md for known gotchas matching the error
Cross-reference with common patterns: null pointer, race condition, resource leak, config error
Rate root cause confidence (>=80% to proceed with fix)

Evidence Collection

Stack traces with full call chain
Error messages with context
Exit codes from reproduction attempts
Git blame/log for change correlation
Environment differences (if applicable)

When to Use

During DEBUG workflow investigation phase
When BUILD tests fail unexpectedly
When reviewing error handling gaps

Agents Used

bug-investigator (primary consumer)
silent-failure-hunter (pattern reference)
