Systematically debug problems using a disciplined, four-phase workflow to eliminate guesswork and track evidence.
Reproduce the bug, then apply the four-phase workflow to identify and fix the root cause.

A systematic debugging workflow enforces a four-phase process: Reproduce, Isolate, Root Cause, and Fix. This structured approach eliminates guesswork, tracks evidence, and prevents symptomatic fixes when resolving software bugs and behavior regressions.
To fix flaky tests and behavior regressions without guesswork, apply a disciplined four-phase workflow: first reproduce the bug, then isolate the variables, identify the root cause, and finally apply the targeted fix with proper documentation.
The best way to triage bugs across a complex codebase is to follow a structured four-phase process—Reproduce, Isolate, Root Cause, Fix—which provides clear guardrails and documentation prompts to systematically resolve behavior changes.
To reproduce a bug before attempting a fix, you must consistently trigger the error condition as the first phase of the debugging workflow, establishing a reliable baseline before moving forward to isolate variables and locate the root cause.
You should stop attempting fixes and reconsider your root cause analysis after three failed attempts, as an explicit three-attempt rule prevents you from repeatedly applying ineffective symptomatic fixes instead of isolating the true underlying issue.
