Help me find the root cause of this bug. Symptom: {SYMPTOM} What I expected vs got: {EXPECTED_VS_ACTUAL} Relevant code / logs / stack trace: <details> {DETAILS} </details> Work it like a detective: 1. Form the 3 most likely hypotheses, ranked. 2. For each, the cheapest test or log line that would confirm or kill it. 3. The most probable root cause and your confidence. 4. The proper fix (not a band-aid) + how to prevent the whole class of bug. Ask me for one piece of missing info if it would change your answer.
