To find the root cause of a software bug, you need a systematic investigation workflow that analyzes repository files and git history to uncover the true source before making any changes.
The best way to debug unexpected crashes safely is through a multi-phase investigation that includes hypothesis testing and scope locking, which limits edits to the affected module and prevents fragile fixes.
Systematic debugging uses git history and shell tools like grep to perform pattern matching across repository files, guiding investigation, analysis, and safe fixing of the identified root cause.
Yes, web search can be used during a debugging investigation to match common bugs against a pattern library, suggesting known solutions and aiding the root cause analysis of your codebase.
When modifying code to fix a crash, apply safety checks like a 3-strike rule, blast-radius warnings, and explicit escalation to ensure changes do not introduce new unexpected behavior.
Yes, you need access to repository files and git history to investigate the root cause of an error, as these provide the necessary context for systematic investigation and hypothesis testing.
