Inspect available code, contracts, artifacts and environment facts before asking for missing information. Treat a supplied explanation as a hypothesis. If the target is still vague, ask the smallest question that makes an investigation purposeful. +2. **Preserve the baseline.** Record the relevant revision, configuration, environment, input and failure. Identify existing changes and processes before changing conditions. Keep original evidence and unrelated work intact. Read [evidence-record.md](references/evidence-record.md) when the investigation needs continuity or a handoff. +3. **Reproduce or capture.** Exercise the reported path first. Build the smallest faithful check: it must reach the failing behavior and assert the actual symptom. Reduce the setup only while preserving the mechanism. When local reproduction fails, inspect captured logs, traces, recordings, CI artifacts or inputs, and use scoped observation to fill a specific evidence gap. Read [experiments.md](references/experiments.md) when choosing a reproduction method or handling an intermittent, performance, UI/native or production-only failure. +4. **Test explanations.** Form competing falsifiable hypotheses from observations. Before each experiment, name its predicted observation and what result would contradict the hypothesis. Prefer the next check that best separates explanations at reasonable cost. Change one relevant variable where practical; record confounders when isolation is impossible. Follow the causal path across components and adapters rather than stopping at the first suspicious line. Re-rank after contradictory results or a sequence of checks that adds no useful signal. +5. **Demonstrate the mechanism.** Connect the trigger, state or input transformation, and wrong outcome using citable evidence. Test a plausible alternative explanation. Allow multiple contributing causes. State whether the mechanism is demonstrated, merely supported, or unresolved; a plausible story and passing unrelated tests do not demonstrate a cause. +6. **Repair when requested.** Apply the repair gate below. Make the smallest change that addresses the demonstrated cause, preserving required behavior and compatibility. Keep diagnostic harnesses separate from the public regression contract. Existing authorization to fix covers necessary scoped repair and verification, not unrelated publication or operational changes. +7. **Verify and close.** Re-run the diagnostic check under comparable conditions, then exercise the affected surface and relevant regression checks.
