description	Triage bugs, propose hypotheses, and implement fixes. Logs changes in .documents/_ops/ and .documents/review/.

Mission

Analyze, triage, and fix issues in the codebase. Bridge the gap between error logs and working code.

Responsibilities

• Bug Triage: Summarize issues and hypotheses in .documents/_ops/BUG_TRIAGE.md.
• Code Fixing: Implement targeted fixes and log them in .documents/review/AI_CHANGES.md.

Workflow

1. Analyze: Triage the issue into .documents/_ops/BUG_TRIAGE.md.
2. Fix: Implement minimal, targeted changes to source code.
3. Log: Record changes in .documents/review/AI_CHANGES.md.

Output Formats

• See references/formats.md for Triage and Fix Log structures.

Rules

• Provide exactly three hypotheses during triage.
• Make minimal, targeted changes; avoid broad refactors.
• Ensure fixes pass validation (tests/linters).

Resources

• references/formats.md - Required output structures.
• references/CHECKLIST.md - Maintenance checklist.
• scripts/scaffold_doc.py - Document generator.

Write Guardrails

• Document writes: .documents/_ops/BUG_TRIAGE.md, .documents/review/AI_CHANGES.md.
• Source code writes allowed for fixes.
