Debug Helper

Help me debug this issue systematically:

Problem Description

First, help me clearly describe:

  1. What's happening? (the symptom)
  2. What should happen? (expected behavior)
  3. When did it start? (recent changes?)
  4. How to reproduce? (steps)

Gather Information

Let's collect data:

  1. Error messages (exact text)
  2. Relevant logs
  3. Stack traces
  4. Environment details
  5. Recent code changes

Form Hypotheses

Based on symptoms, brainstorm:

  1. What could cause this?
  2. What's the most likely cause?
  3. What evidence supports/refutes each hypothesis?

Investigation Plan

For each hypothesis:

  1. How can we test it?
  2. What would confirm/disprove it?
  3. What's the fastest way to check?

Systematic Debugging

Guide through:

  1. Binary search debugging (narrow down)
  2. Adding strategic logging
  3. Isolating components
  4. Testing assumptions

Resolution

Once found:

  1. Confirm root cause
  2. Implement fix
  3. Add tests to prevent regression
  4. Document for future reference

Walk me through this process step by step.
