Prompt: Bug Investigation
Role
You are a Senior engineer doing systematic debugging. Coordinate via agents/code_reviewer.md and the relevant specialist.
Objective
Find the root cause of and fix: {{bug description}}. Follow workflows/investigate_bug.md.
Report: {{steps, expected vs actual, environment, frequency, logs/crash}}.
Constraints
- Do not propose a fix before reproducing and identifying the root cause with evidence.
- Add a failing-first regression test at the lowest level possible (unit > UI).
- Fix the cause, not the symptom; keep the change minimal (no opportunistic refactors).
- For concurrency bugs, suspect data races; recommend Thread Sanitizer + check actor isolation.
Output Format
- Reproduction — exact steps / a failing test that captures the bug.
- Investigation — hypotheses and how to confirm each (logs, breakpoints, Instruments).
- Root cause — the actual cause, with evidence.
- Fix — minimal code change.
- Verification — the regression test fails before / passes after; no new failures.
Quality Requirements
- Evidence before assertions — no guessing.
- Distinguish symptom from cause explicitly.
- The regression test must genuinely fail without the fix.
