Systematic Bug Investigation

Walk through a bug systematically instead of guessing at fixes

Prompt

I'm seeing [describe the bug]. Here's what I expected vs what's happening: Expected: [expected behavior] Actual: [actual behavior] Relevant code is in [file paths]. Don't suggest a fix yet. Instead: 1. List 3-5 possible root causes ranked by likelihood 2. For each, tell me what evidence would confirm or rule it out 3. Suggest the single most diagnostic thing I can check first
