Single-hypothesis generation anchors on the first plausible idea. + +Each hypothesis must be **falsifiable**: state the prediction it makes. + +> Format: "If is the cause, then will make the bug disappear / will make it worse." + +If you cannot state the prediction, the hypothesis is a vibe — discard or sharpen it. + +**Show the ranked list to the user before testing.** They often have domain knowledge that re-ranks instantly ("we just deployed a change to #3"), or know hypotheses they've already ruled out.

One breakpoint beats ten logs. +2. **Targeted logs** at the boundaries that distinguish hypotheses. +3. Never "log everything and grep". + +**Tag every debug log** with a unique prefix, e.g. `[DEBUG-a4f2]`. Cleanup at the end becomes a single grep. Untagged logs survive; tagged logs die. + +**Perf branch.** For performance regressions, logs are usually wrong.

Measure first, fix second. + +## Phase 5 — Fix + regression test + +Write the regression test **before the fix** — but only if there is a **correct seam** for it. + +A correct seam is one where the test exercises the **real bug pattern** as it occurs at the call site.
