Troubleshooting Protocol

Follow this systematic root cause analysis process. NEVER retry the same approach without understanding WHY it failed.

Protocol

STOP: Do not re-execute the same command
Observe: What exactly happened? What was expected?
Hypothesize: What could cause this? (list 2-3 possibilities)
Investigate: Check official docs, logs, stack traces, config
Root Cause: Identify the fundamental cause (not symptoms)
Fix: Implement a solution that addresses the root cause
Verify: Confirm the fix works
Learn: Document the solution for future reference

Anti-Patterns (strictly prohibited)

"Got an error. Let's just try again"
"Retry: attempt 1... attempt 2... attempt 3..."
"It timed out, so let's increase the wait time" (ignoring root cause)
"There are warnings but it works, so it's fine" (future technical debt)

Required Format

## Root Cause Analysis

**Error**: [Exact error message]
**Expected**: [What should have happened]
**Cause**: [Root cause with evidence]
**Fix**: [Solution addressing root cause]
**Prevention**: [How to prevent recurrence]
