Investigate and fix: $ARGUMENTS

Step 1 — Gather Evidence

  • Read the full error traceback, log output, or bug report
  • Identify the exception type, message, file, and line number
  • Note any relevant request data, state, or configuration
  • Check if a test already covers this case

Step 2 — Reproduce

Write a minimal test that triggers the error:

// Write a test that triggers the error
test_reproduces_issue(client) {
    resp = client.<METHOD>("<path>", ...)
    // This should reproduce the error — verify it fails
}

Run it to confirm it fails.

Step 3 — Diagnose

Trace the error through the architecture layers (see Layers in project config):

  1. API layer — Route handler, request parsing, DI
  2. Dependencies — Auth chain, service injection
  3. Service layer — Business logic, thread safety
  4. Core layer — External resource communication, protocol
  5. Config — Settings, environment variables

For each layer, ask:

  • Is the input valid at this point?
  • Is the exception caught or propagated correctly?
  • Is thread safety maintained?
  • Is the state consistent?

Common root causes:

  • Resource errors: External resource not open, invalid identifier
  • Auth errors: API key misconfigured, missing timing-safe comparison
  • State errors: State dict out of sync with actual resource state
  • Thread errors: Lock not held during resource access
  • Config errors: Env var not set or wrong type

Step 4 — Fix

  • Fix in the correct layer (core → service → API)
  • Use typed exceptions, not generic Exception
  • Maintain thread safety if touching service layer
  • Rollback semantics if touching multi-entity operations

Step 5 — Verify

  • The reproduction test MUST now pass
  • Run the test command and the type-check command (see project config)

Step 6 — Audit

  • Are there similar patterns elsewhere that have the same bug?
  • Does the fix maintain backwards compatibility?
  • If the root cause was non-obvious, add a code comment explaining why
  • If the issue could recur, suggest a preventive measure
