Fix software bugs using test driven development by experimentally reproducing the failure, writing failing tests before code changes, applying minimal fixes, and removing temporary artifacts to ensure clean commits.

Reproduce intermittent integration testing failures through mechanistic clarification of expected versus actual behavior, demanding experimental reproduction until the failure is experimentally proven before writing code.

Prevent regressions when fixing unexpected behavior by writing failing tests that capture both symptom and root cause, then verifying the minimal fix passes these tests and broader test runs.

You can use a drill down approach to write failing tests for user reported bugs by creating tests from E2E and integration levels down to unit tests, establishing reliable regression coverage before changing production code.

Remove temporary debugging artifacts before committing by enforcing cleanup hygiene that strips temporary logging and experiments, ensuring only the minimal verified fix remains in the final commit.
