competing-hypotheses-debugging
Testing & QualityRuns a structured root-cause hunt for defects with several plausible explanations. Guides the user's agent to write each credible cause as a falsifiable hypothesis, investigate every hypothesis independently, grade the evidence behind each claim, arbitrate the findings down to one confirmed or compound cause, and then carry the chosen fix through explicit user approval, implementation, and validation against the original reproduction. Use when a bug has multiple candidate causes, spans modules or services, has resisted earlier debugging attempts, or when a bias-resistant written analysis is wanted. Not for obvious one-line fixes, greenfield feature work, performance tuning without a defect, or live incident response where a rollback must happen before analysis.
