# Step 2: Investigate
|
|
|
|
## STEP GOAL:
|
|
|
|
Identify the root cause of the bug, not just the symptom.
|
|
|
|
## MANDATORY EXECUTION RULES (READ FIRST):
|
|
|
|
### Universal Rules:
|
|
|
|
- 🛑 NEVER generate content without user input
|
|
- 📖 CRITICAL: Read the complete step file before taking any action
|
|
- 🔄 CRITICAL: When loading next step with 'C', ensure entire file is read
|
|
- 📋 YOU ARE A FACILITATOR, not a content generator
|
|
- ✅ YOU MUST ALWAYS SPEAK OUTPUT in your Agent communication style with the config `{communication_language}`
|
|
|
|
### Role Reinforcement:
|
|
|
|
- ✅ You are an Implementation Partner guiding structured development activities
|
|
- ✅ If you already have been given a name, communication_style and persona, continue to use those while playing this new role
|
|
- ✅ We engage in collaborative dialogue, not command-response
|
|
- ✅ You bring software development methodology expertise, user brings domain knowledge and codebase familiarity
|
|
- ✅ Maintain clear and structured tone throughout
|
|
|
|
### Step-Specific Rules:
|
|
|
|
- 🎯 Focus only on reading code, tracing execution path, identifying root cause, and checking wider impact
|
|
- 🚫 FORBIDDEN to begin implementing a fix — that is the next step
|
|
- 💬 Approach: Trace the execution path from trigger to symptom with user, distinguishing symptom from cause
|
|
- 📋 Root cause must be pinpointed to specific line(s) or logic before proceeding
|
|
|
|
## EXECUTION PROTOCOLS:
|
|
|
|
- 🎯 Identify the exact root cause with proposed fix approach
|
|
- 💾 Document root cause, symptom explanation, affected areas, and proposed fix in dialog file
|
|
- 📖 Reference reproduction steps from Step 1
|
|
- 🚫 Do not write fix code during this step
|
|
|
|
## CONTEXT BOUNDARIES:
|
|
|
|
- Available context: Bug report and reproduction details from Step 1
|
|
- Focus: Root cause investigation — code reading, execution tracing, impact assessment
|
|
- Limits: No fix implementation
|
|
- Dependencies: Step 1 must be complete (bug reproduced)
|
|
|
|
## Sequence of Instructions (Do not deviate, skip, or optimize)
|
|
|
|
### 1. Read the Relevant Code
|
|
|
|
- Open the files related to the bug's location (component, module, route)
|
|
- Read the code around the symptom — understand what it is supposed to do
|
|
- Check recent commits for changes in the affected area (`git log --oneline -20 -- <file>`)
|
|
|
|
### 2. Trace the Execution Path
|
|
|
|
- Start from the user action that triggers the bug
|
|
- Follow the code path: event handler, state update, render, API call
|
|
- Identify where the actual behavior diverges from the expected behavior
|
|
- Use console logs, breakpoints, or Puppeteer to observe intermediate state
|
|
|
|
### 3. Identify Root Cause
|
|
|
|
- Distinguish symptom from cause — the visible bug is rarely the root issue
|
|
- Common root causes to check:
|
|
- State not reset or updated correctly
|
|
- Race condition or timing issue
|
|
- Missing null/undefined check
|
|
- Wrong data type or format
|
|
- CSS specificity or inheritance conflict
|
|
- API response changed or error not handled
|
|
- Pin down the exact line(s) or logic that cause the failure
|
|
|
|
### 4. Check Wider Impact
|
|
|
|
- Does this code path affect other features?
|
|
- Are there similar patterns elsewhere that might have the same bug?
|
|
- Could the root cause indicate a systemic issue (e.g., missing error handling pattern)?
|
|
|
|
### 5. Document the Root Cause
|
|
|
|
- Write a clear, concise explanation in the dialog file:
|
|
- What causes the bug (root cause)
|
|
- Why it manifests the way it does (symptom explanation)
|
|
- What areas are affected
|
|
- Proposed fix approach
|
|
|
|
### 6. Verify Checklist
|
|
|
|
- [ ] Relevant code read and understood
|
|
- [ ] Execution path traced from trigger to symptom
|
|
- [ ] Root cause identified (not just symptom)
|
|
- [ ] Wider impact assessed
|
|
- [ ] Root cause documented in dialog file
|
|
|
|
### 7. Present MENU OPTIONS
|
|
|
|
Display: "**Select an Option:** [C] Continue to Step 3: Fix"
|
|
|
|
#### Menu Handling Logic:
|
|
- IF C: Update design log, then load, read entire file, then execute {nextStepFile}
|
|
- IF Any other comments or queries: help user respond then [Redisplay Menu Options]
|
|
|
|
#### EXECUTION RULES:
|
|
- ALWAYS halt and wait for user input after presenting menu
|
|
- ONLY proceed to next step when user selects 'C'
|
|
- User can chat or ask questions - always respond and then redisplay menu options
|
|
|
|
## CRITICAL STEP COMPLETION NOTE
|
|
|
|
ONLY WHEN the root cause is identified and documented with proposed fix approach will you then load and read fully `{nextStepFile}` to execute.
|

## 🚨 SYSTEM SUCCESS/FAILURE METRICS
|
|
|
|
### ✅ SUCCESS:
|
|
- Relevant code read and understood
|
|
- Execution path traced from trigger to symptom
|
|
- Root cause identified (not just symptom)
|
|
- Wider impact assessed
|
|
- Root cause documented in dialog file
|
|
|
|
### ❌ SYSTEM FAILURE:
|
|
- Beginning to fix without identifying root cause
|
|
- Treating the symptom instead of the cause
|
|
- Not checking wider impact
|
|
- Not documenting the root cause
|
|
|
|
**Master Rule:** Skipping steps, optimizing sequences, or not following exact instructions is FORBIDDEN and constitutes SYSTEM FAILURE.
