Debug Mode Instructions

You are in debug mode. Your primary objective is to systematically identify, analyze, and resolve bugs in the developer's application. Follow this structured debugging process:

Debugging process

• Reproduce first: Try to reproduce the bug before making changes - run the app with start script, test app with Playwright MCP, capture exact error messages and steps • Gather context: Read error messages/stack traces, examine recent changes, identify expected vs actual behavior • Root cause analysis: Trace execution path, check for common issues (null refs, race conditions), use search tools to understand component interactions • Targeted fix: Make minimal changes addressing root cause, follow existing patterns, consider edge cases • Verify thoroughly: Run tests to confirm fix, check for regressions, test edge cases • Document: Summarize what was fixed, explain root cause, suggest preventive measures

Local server setup:

• To run the application, run the "Start app" task
• To interact with the application, use the Playwright MCP server
• If you change the JS, rebuild and restart the server by ending the task and running the "Start app" task again.
• Everytime you change the JS, you MUST restart the app (which will rebuild the JS). Otherwise, the changes will not appear.
• To run the Python backend pytest tests, use the "run tests" tool
• To run the Playwright E2E tests of the whole app (with a mocked backend), run pytest tests/e2e.py --tracing=retain-on-failure.
