Two disciplines apply regardless of language, runtime, or whether you have source:\n\n1. **Runtime truth beats code reading.** Every claim about why the bug happens must come from observed state β never from a plausible story spun from reading code.\n2. **Leave no trace.** Debugging creates artifacts. Every artifact is journaled and removed before you call the task done.\n\nThe rest of this file is a map. **The knowledge is in `references/`.** This file cannot teach you how to debug β it can only tell you which reference will, for your exact situation.\n\n---\n\n# π¨ READ THE REFERENCES. THIS IS NOT OPTIONAL.\n\n> **This skill is intentionally small.** Ninety percent of what you need to know lives in `references/`. If you skim this file and start working without opening the references, you will reattach a debugger the wrong way, miss a silent-failure pattern you've never seen before, waste an hour on a source-map gotcha, or invent a worse version of a tool that already solves your problem.\n>\n> **Every reference below is mandatory when its scenario applies.** \"I know this language\" is not an exemption. The references exist because every runtime and every specialist tool has at least one gotcha that silently wastes hours, and you will not know which gotcha until you read the file.\n>\n> **The gate rule**: before you run a command from a given reference's domain, you must have read that reference in this session. Re-reading across sessions is cheap. Guessing is expensive.\n\n---\n\n## Runtime Setup β MANDATORY READING BEFORE ATTACHING\n\nThe methodology is language-agnostic. The commands to launch, attach, breakpoint, and inspect are not. **Open the matching reference before Phase 0. Not during. Not after.**\n\n| Your runtime isβ¦ | Open this before attaching anything | Non-negotiable becauseβ¦ |\n|---|---|---|\n| Python (CPython, pytest, asyncio, Django, FastAPI) | π **[references/runtimes/python.md](references/runtimes/python.md)** | pdb vs ipdb vs debugpy vs pytest --pdb all have different attach semantics. Async code needs special breakpoint handling. Wrappers like `poetry run` swallow flags. |\n| Node.js / tsx / ts-node / Bun / Deno (running source) | π **[references/runtimes/node.md](references/runtimes/node.md)** | `tsx` + `node inspect` CLI has a **silent source-map failure** β breakpoints by line number do not fire. You will not notice unless you read this first. |\n| Rust (cargo, tokio, panics) | π **[references/runtimes/rust.md](references/runtimes/rust.md)** | Release builds strip symbols. Tokio tasks need `tokio-console`. The borrow checker makes `dbg!` the faster tool most of the time. |\n| Go (goroutines, dlv, pprof, race) | π **[references/runtimes/go.md](references/runtimes/go.md)** | Goroutine leaks and recovered panics are silent by default. `dlv` has a specific port convention. `go test -race` is the first thing to run, not the last. |\n| Native binary / stripped C/C++ / no source | π **[references/runtimes/native-binary.md](references/runtimes/native-binary.md)** | The workflow (triage β dynamic β static β scripted repro) is counterintuitive if you've never done it. `strings -n 8` silently drops short interpolations like `${x}` β read bytes directly for any extraction that matters. macOS adds SIP / Mach-O / lldb specifics that don't apply on Linux. |\n| **Bundled-app binary** (Bun SEA, Node SEA, Deno compile, pkg, nexe, Electron, Tauri, PyInstaller) | π **[references/runtimes/bundled-js-binary.md](references/runtimes/bundled-js-binary.md)** | These look like Mach-O / ELF but their *high-level* source is recoverable with the right per-bundler tool β Ghidra is overkill. Source-format reality varies: Bun/pkg/nexe/Electron-asar are usually plaintext; Node SEA with code-cache, PyInstaller `.pyc`, and Deno eszip need extra tooling; Tauri's Rust core still needs native-binary.md. Workflow: identify bundler β locate bundle β extract with the bundler-specific tool β grep. |\n\n**If you cannot honestly say you just opened the reference for your runtime, open it now.**\n\n> π¨ **Native binary vs bundled binary β check before committing**: `file ./target` calls them both Mach-O / ELF. The 30-second discriminator is `du -h ./target` (50 MB+ suspect bundled) plus `strings -n 12 ./target | rg -iE 'bun|node_modules|webpack|esbuild|deno|pkg/lib|electron|pyinstaller|nexe|NODE_SEA_FUSE|tauri'`. If hits β bundled-js-binary.md. If clean β native-binary.md.\n\n---\n\n## Specialist Tools β ACTIVELY USE WHEN THE SCENARIO FITS\n\nThese are not \"optional extras\". They are the correct tool in their domain, and anything else is slower and less reliable. **If the bug fits the domain, you MUST use the tool. Read the reference first to know how.**\n\n| Tool | Use when | Reference |\n|---|---|---|\n| **Playwright CLI** | Any browser-served web UI bug. Any flow that requires clicking/typing/navigating. Any \"works locally, breaks in prod\" where the browser or viewport is the variable. **For Phase 8 QA of any browser product, you MUST drive a real browser via Playwright β not curl, not imagination.** | π **[references/tools/playwright-cli.md](references/tools/playwright-cli.md)** |\n| **Ghidra** | Any binary without trustworthy source β third-party closed libs, malware, vendored binaries whose behavior contradicts docs, CTF, firmware. **Use Ghidra's decompiler before `strings`/`objdump` guessing. It turns machine code into readable C.** | π **[references/tools/ghidra.md](references/tools/ghidra.md)** |\n| **pwndbg** | Any native binary debugging session. It is GDB with the useful views (registers, stack, disasm, heap) always visible. **If you'd reach for plain `gdb`, reach for `pwndbg` instead β it is strictly a superset.** | π **[references/tools/pwndbg.md](references/tools/pwndbg.md)** |\n| **pwntools** | Any time you need a reproducible interaction with a binary or network service β crafted payloads, exploit automation, fuzz harness, CTF scripting. | π **[references/tools/pwntools.md](references/tools/pwntools.md)** |\n\n**Failing to use these tools in their domain is a process failure, not a stylistic choice.** If the bug is in a browser and you did Phase 8 without Playwright, you are doing it wrong. If the bug is in a stripped binary and you read hex with `xxd`, you are doing it wrong. The references tell you how. Read them.\n\n---\n\n## The Phase Loop β READ THE REFERENCE FOR THE PHASE YOU ARE ENTERING\n\nEach phase has exactly one reference. Read it as you enter the phase β not in advance, not from memory. The references are self-contained and short.\n\n| # | Phase | π Open this when entering |\n|---|---|---|\n| 0 | **Environment assessment** β know the runtime, ports, symbols, env vars, watchers before attaching | [references/methodology/00-setup.md](references/methodology/00-setup.md) |\n| 1 | **Journal setup** β single `.debug-journal.md` tracks every artifact for guaranteed revert | [references/methodology/00-setup.md](references/methodology/00-setup.md) |\n| 2 | **Hypothesis formation** β minimum three, across orthogonal axes, each with distinguishing evidence | [references/methodology/02-investigate.md](references/methodology/02-investigate.md) |\n| 3 | **Parallel investigation** β team mode `debug-squad` when enabled, async subagents otherwise | [references/methodology/02-investigate.md](references/methodology/02-investigate.md) |\n| 4 | **Oracle Triple** β after 2 consecutive failed rounds, spawn three Oracles with orthogonal framings and synthesize | [references/methodology/04-oracle-triple.md](references/methodology/04-oracle-triple.md) |\n| 5 | **User decision escalation** β only when evidence exhausted and the call has policy implications | [references/methodology/05-escalate.md](references/methodology/05-escalate.md) |\n| 6 | **Root cause confirmation** β confirmed only when toggling the suspected cause toggles the bug | [references/methodology/06-fix.md](references/methodology/06-fix.md) |\n| 7 | **TDD fix** β red test first, minimal green, no scope expansion | [references/methodology/06-fix.md](references/methodology/06-fix.md) |\n| 8 | **Manual QA** β actually use the system (tmux for CLI, Playwright for browser, real curl for API, real repro for binary) | [references/methodology/08-qa.md](references/methodology/08-qa.md) |\n| 9 | **Cleanup** β walk the journal, revert every artifact, verify `git diff` shows only fix + test | [references/methodology/09-cleanup.md](references/methodology/09-cleanup.md) |\n| 10 | **Final verification** β four evidence gates before declaring done | [references/methodology/09-cleanup.md](references/methodology/09-cleanup.md) |\n\n**Phase references are short by design.** Reading one takes a minute. Skipping one costs an hour.\n\n### Cross-cutting methodology references\n\nThese are not phases β read them when the situation calls for them:\n\n| Situation | Reference |\n|---|---|\n| The failure is intermittent β fails sometimes, a different test each run, passes in isolation, or only fails in CI | π **[references/methodology/03-flaky-triage.md](references/methodology/03-flaky-triage.md)** β read BEFORE Phase 2; the failure signature usually collapses the search space in one round |\n| You cannot run the actual operation (paid API, blocked network, missing hardware) but still need runtime evidence | π **[references/methodology/partial-runtime-evidence.md](references/methodology/partial-runtime-evidence.md)** |\n| You're about to declare an extraction / audit / reverse-engineering task done and want a skeptical pass | π **[references/methodology/partial-runtime-evidence.md#verification-oracle-pattern-for-non-debug-tasks](references/methodology/partial-runtime-evidence.md#verification-oracle-pattern-for-non-debug-tasks)** (Verification Oracle is *not* the same as Oracle Triple β read the file) |\n\n---\n\n## Non-Negotiable Safety Invariants\n\n\n1. **Runtime state is the only source of truth.** A hypothesis without an observed value is a guess. Do not fix guesses.\n2. **Every debug artifact is journaled before it is created.** Journal-then-modify, not modify-then-remember-maybe.\n3. **Never ship a fix without a failing-first test.** Redβgreen transition required, or the fix is unverified.\n4. **Never declare done on type-check/compile alone.** Types catch declaration bugs. Only running the actual user scenario catches the actual user bug.\n5. **Never ask the user a question that runtime evidence can already answer.** Escalation is for genuine ambiguity.\n6. **Never silently swallow errors while debugging.** If the system swallows errors, that is often the bug itself. Make them loud temporarily; restore at cleanup.\n7. **Never `git commit` from inside this skill.** Commits belong to `/git-master` after the user confirms the fix.\n8. **Never attach without having read the runtime reference.** The gate rule.\n\n\n---\n\n## What to Do Right Now\n\n1. Read the user's bug description.\n2. Identify the runtime.\n3. **Open `references/runtimes/.md`.** Read it.\n4. Identify which specialist tools apply. **Open each matching `references/tools/*.md`.** Read them.\n5. Open `references/methodology/00-setup.md` and start Phase 0.\n6. Follow the phase loop. Read each methodology reference as you enter the phase.\n\n**The references are the skill. This file is an index.**\n\n\nREAD-ONLY ORACLE A β OBVIOUS-BUT-MISSED. Worktree: `/home/cube/projects/richard/.worktrees/nutricoach-v111-impl`. Do not edit files, start services, touch `/home/cube/.hermes`, or run the full E2E. Exact latest failure: literal `python scripts/run_dualcoach_v111_disposable_e2e.py --evidence-dir .omo/evidence/v1.1.1-stability/disposable-e2e` exits 1 with `DISPOSABLE_E2E_BLOCKED`, `DisposableHarnessError: timed out waiting for normal-restart polling`. Last completed stage: crash after known-message response, update ID 4. First unmet observable: replacement disposable child never became polling-ready for normal restart. Cleanup fields all true; no process/ports/temp dirs left. Deterministic loopback model was not reached (`requests: []`). Focused tests 19 passed. Inspect the current E2E scripts, failure evidence, child process launcher, and fake Telegram engine. Find exactly three likely obvious causes (wrong flag/event, stale signal, wrong process/code path, registration ordering, etc.), ranked, each with precise file:line evidence and ONE smallest decisive runtime query. Return no speculation without code evidence.\n\n\nYou are operating in DEEP mode. This is the category reserved for goal-oriented autonomous work on hairy problems that reward thorough exploration and comprehensive solutions.\n\nThe orchestrator chose this category because the task benefits from depth over speed. You should feel empowered to spend the time needed: five to fifteen minutes of silent exploration before the first edit is normal and correct. Rushing to implementation on a deep task is a failure mode, not a feature.\n\n# How deep mode adjusts the base behavior\n\n**Exploration budget: generous.** Read the files you need, trace dependencies both directions, fire 2-5 explore/librarian sub-agents in parallel for broader questions. Build a complete mental model before the first `apply_patch`. Exploration here is an investment, not overhead.\n\n**Goal, not plan.** You receive a GOAL describing the desired outcome. You figure out HOW to achieve it. The orchestrator deliberately did not hand you a step-by-step plan; producing one and asking for approval is not what was asked. Execute.\n\n**Atomic task treatment.** When the goal contains numbered steps or phases, treat them as sub-steps of ONE task and execute them all in this turn. Splitting them across turns is wrong unless they reveal an architectural blocker that requires the user's input. If the \"steps\" turn out to be genuinely independent tasks that should have been separate delegations, flag that in your final message and refuse the ones beyond scope.\n\n**Root cause bias.** Prefer root-cause fixes over symptom fixes. A null check around `foo()` is a symptom fix; fixing whatever causes `foo()` to return unexpected values is the root fix. Trace at least two levels up before settling on an answer. In deep mode, you have permission (and the expectation) to do the deeper fix.\n\n**Ambition scaled to context.** For brand-new greenfield work, be ambitious. Choose strong defaults, avoid AI-slop aesthetics, produce something you would be proud to hand to another senior engineer. For changes in an existing codebase, be surgical and respect the existing patterns; depth does not mean invasiveness.\n\n**Completion bar: full delivery.** \"Simplified version\", \"proof of concept\", and \"you can extend this later\" are not acceptable deliveries for a deep task. The orchestrator routed here specifically for a complete solution. If you hit a genuine blocker (missing secret, design decision only the user can make, three materially different attempts all failed), document it and return; otherwise, finish the task.\n\n**Status cadence: sparse.** The user is not on the other side of this conversation; the orchestrator is, and they will synthesize your progress. Send commentary only at meaningful phase transitions (starting exploration, starting implementation, starting verification, hitting a genuine blocker). Do not narrate every tool call; silence during focused work is expected.\n"},"host_pid":1082531,"final_response":"I read this as a read-only failure investigation - I traced the exact startup boundary and ranked three code-supported causes.\n\n1. **Blocked membership-journal lock**\n - Fourth child reaches the final readiness API call, `sendChatAction`, at `fake-api-calls.jsonl:70`.\n - That call is the last await inside `verify_subscription_readiness()` (`gateway/platforms/telegram_staff_membership_gate.py:302`).\n - The next blocking operation is `journal.append()` (`gateway/platforms/telegram.py:2433`), which takes an unbounded exclusive `flock` (`gateway/platforms/telegram_staff_membership_gate.py:381`).\n - This exactly explains a live child that never reaches polling.\n - **Decisive runtime query:** During the stall, run `py-spy dump --pid `; a main-thread stack at `MembershipJournal.append` line 381 confirms it.\n\n2. **`sendChatAction` was recorded but its response never completed**\n - The fake records an action before dispatch finishes (`scripts/dualcoach_v111_fake_telegram_engine.py:293-306`); therefore line 70 proves request arrival, not that PTB received the response.\n - The child cannot leave `verify_subscription_readiness()` until `await bot.send_chat_action(...)` returns (`gateway/platforms/telegram_staff_membership_gate.py:302`).\n - Earlier identical calls succeeded at action sequences 4, 27, and 47, making this lower-ranked but still the exact preceding boundary.\n - **Decisive runtime query:** During the stall, run `py-spy dump --pid ` and inspect the `dualcoach-v111-fake-telegram` thread; a stack inside `_TelegramHandler._reply` or request handling identifies an incomplete response.\n\n3. **The harness waits for a late milestone with a startup-wide 20-second budget**\n - `_start_and_wait_for_poll()` starts the child and waits only for `getUpdates` (`scripts/run_dualcoach_v111_disposable_e2e.py:224-245`).\n - Before polling, startup performs membership readiness, application startup, all nutrition recovery, and production command registration (`gateway/platforms/telegram.py:3055-3057`); only afterward does `start_polling()` run (`gateway/platforms/telegram.py:3128`).\n - The fourth restart has more durable state than earlier starts, but the same fixed 20-second timeout applies.
