Bug Fix Development

When to Use

Use this when fixing any bug in the codebase. The process ensures root cause analysis before implementation, proper test coverage, and regression verification.

Process

1. Bug Analysis & Root Cause Identification

• Reproduce the bug before implementing any fix
  • Create minimal reproduction case
  • Document exact steps to reproduce
  • Identify expected vs actual behavior
• Find root cause: trace through code flow to identify responsible component
• Define scope: what needs fixing, potential side effects, related affected areas
• Document edge cases that might trigger the bug

2. Implementation

• Create a targeted fix addressing only the root cause
• Follow existing code patterns and conventions
• Maintain backward compatibility where possible
• Strict TypeScript typing, proper error handling, clean code
• Full documentation comments on every new/modified function
• If security-related, address the vulnerability completely

3. Test-Driven Development

• Before implementing the fix, create a test that reproduces the bug (red-green-refactor)
• After the fix, verify the test passes and all existing tests still pass
• Cover: the specific bug scenario, related edge cases, regression scenarios, input validation
• Mock all external dependencies

4. Linting

# Backend
cd core-api && npx eslint src/path/to/modified/files.ts
# Frontend
cd console && npx eslint src/path/to/modified/files.tsx

Zero errors, zero warnings.

5. Regression Testing

# Backend
cd core-api && npm run test
# Frontend
cd console && npm run test

Also manually test affected functionality if applicable.

6. Documentation

English comments only for non-obvious logic or complex edge cases. No unnecessary comments.

7. Completion Summary

• Root cause of the bug
• Files modified
• Test cases added
• Regression tests pass
• Status: Ready for review
