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.
