Debug Methodologyv1.2.0

A cloud-based SaaS platform experiences intermittent 524 timeout errors from Cloudflare. The AI agent applies the 5 Whys methodology to trace the root cause to non-streaming API calls, avoiding the workaround of switching to a faster model. It ensures the fix uses streaming to prevent connection cuts.

After a new code deployment, a web application fails to start due to dependency conflicts. The agent follows the environment checklist to identify version mismatches in a virtual environment, preventing random downgrades and ensuring correct dependency resolution.

A feature that previously worked stops functioning after a recent update. The agent uses the STOP phase to assess changes, hypothesizes based on diff analysis, and tests one change at a time to isolate and revert the faulty commit without introducing new issues.

A server process crashes, and the agent avoids the anti-pattern of restarting without investigation. It records the original startup command, checks logs for errors, and verifies environment variables before applying a fix to the root cause, such as a config file error.

An application loses data precision when handling large integers, causing search failures. The agent rejects workarounds like searching by name and instead fixes BigInt parsing in the codebase, ensuring the solution addresses the underlying data type issue.
