description
Analyze a problem and provide a detailed explanation of the issue, root cause, proposed fix, and verification steps.
Read the provided bug report/issue/task. Then thoroughly investigate the codebase to understand the relevant context: - Find the entry points involved (routes/handlers/jobs/commands) and trace the execution path that leads to the reported behavior. - Identify the data flow and state involved (inputs, validation, persistence, caching, permissions, feature flags, side effects). - Locate the expected behavior (specs/tests/docs) and compare it to the actual behavior in code. - If the report includes steps to reproduce, map each step to the corresponding code path and decision points. - Consider common edge cases (null/empty values, timing/race conditions, retries, idempotency, pagination, timezones, auth, stale cache). Deliverable: Explain, in your own words: 1. What you believe the issue is (observable behavior + when it happens), 2. Why you believe it is happening (root cause and the specific assumption/logic that breaks), 3. How you would fix it (proposed approach and what behavior/logic should change), 4. What you would verify (minimal set of checks/tests/logs to confirm the fix and prevent regressions). Constraints: - Do not apply any changes automatically. - Avoid listing files/components/services unless strictly necessary to support the explanation. - If the codebase does not contain enough context to be confident, explicitly say what’s missing and what evidence would confirm the hypothesis.
