Root cause analysis for bugs and unexpected behavior. Traces errors through code, uses structured reasoning, and hands off to fix when cause is found. Core of the debug↔fix mesh. When the diagnosed cause is a memory leak in a long-running process, escalates to perf for cost-impact framing (leaks drive OOM-restart → cold-start → autoscaler spend, often 20-40% bill inflation).

Otherwise, before Step 1: pick the highest viable rung from references/feedback-loop-ladder.md (10-rank ladder: failing test → curl → CLI snapshot → headless browser → trace replay → throwaway harness → fuzz → bisection → differential → HITL script). Construct it. Verify it currently FAILS (proves it measures the bug, not noise). Only then proceed.
If loop construction takes > 10 minutes, that itself is the diagnosis: the bug surface is too large or the system too coupled. Trigger the 3-Fix Escalation Rule (Step 6) — architecture is the problem, not the bug.
Understand and confirm the error described in the request.
After reproducing the error, lock edits to the narrowest affected directory to prevent debug-driven scope creep — the #1 source of "while I'm here, let me also fix..." violations.
<dir>/. Changes will be restricted to this area."Skip conditions (do NOT lock):
Why: Debugging naturally expands scope as you trace root causes. Without a boundary, rune:fix receives recommendations touching 10+ files across unrelated modules. The scope lock forces discipline: fix at the source, not at every symptom site.
Use tools to collect facts — do NOT guess yet.

Rule: NEVER fix where the error appears. Trace back to where invalid data originated.
When adding diagnostic instrumentation, use console.error() (stderr) — NOT application loggers. Loggers are configured to suppress output based on log level or environment (e.g., LOG_LEVEL=warn silences logger.debug). console.error bypasses all logger configuration and writes directly to stderr. This is counterintuitive but critical — the one time you NEED debug output is exactly when loggers are configured to hide it.
When the root cause is invalid data flowing through multiple layers, recommend fixing at ALL layers — not just the source:
| Layer | Purpose | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Layer 1: Entry Point | Reject invalid input at API/CLI boundary | Validate not empty, exists, correct type |
| Layer 2: Business Logic | Ensure data makes sense for the operation | Validate required params before processing |
| Layer 3: Environment Guards | Prevent dangerous operations in specific contexts | Refuse destructive ops outside allowed dirs |
| Layer 4: Debug Instrumentation | Capture context for forensics | Stack trace logging before dangerous operations |
All four layers are necessary. During testing, each layer catches bugs the others miss — different code paths bypass single validation points. When recommending a fix via rune:fix, explicitly call out which layers need validation added.
When the system has multiple components (CI → build → deploy, API → service → DB):
Before hypothesizing, add diagnostic logging at EACH component boundary:
This reveals: "secrets reach workflow ✓, workflow reaches build ✗" — pinpoints the failing layer.
When adding diagnostic logging or instrumentation during investigation, mark ALL additions with region markers:
// #region agent-debug — [hypothesis being tested]
console.log('[DEBUG] value at boundary:', data);
// #endregion agent-debug
Language-appropriate equivalents:
# region agent-debug / # endregion agent-debug// region agent-debug / // endregion agent-debugWhy preserved markers matter:
rune:fix will preserve these markers until the bug is fully resolved and tests passALL diagnostic code added during debug MUST be wrapped in
#region agent-debugmarkers. Unmarked instrumentation will be treated as stray code and removed prematurely.
Observability gap as a finding. If you had to add temporary console.log markers because the code emitted nothing useful about this path, that absence is itself a root-cause-adjacent signal: the bug was hard to diagnose because the system is blind here. When the fix lands, recommend converting the throwaway markers into durable structured telemetry (a stable event name + correlation ID, not prose) so the next occurrence is a query, not another archaeology session. This is advisory — note it in the report, don't block on it. Contract: ../deploy/references/observability.md.
Before forming hypotheses, check .rune/debug/knowledge-base.md:
After successful root cause identification (Step 5), append entry:
### [date] — [symptom summary]
- **Symptom**: [error message or behavior]
- **Root Cause**: [what was actually wrong]
- **Fix**: [what resolved it]
- **Files**: [affected files]
This prevents re-debugging the same issue across sessions.
Before forming hypotheses, match the error against common error archetypes. If a match is found, skip directly to the known fix approach — no hypothesis cycling needed.

# debug
## Purpose
Root cause analysis ONLY. Debug investigates — it does NOT fix. It traces errors through code, analyzes stack traces, forms and tests hypotheses, and identifies the exact cause before handing off to rune:fix.
<HARD-GATE>
Do NOT fix the code. Debug investigates only. Any code change is out of scope.
If root cause cannot be identified after 3 hypothesis cycles:
- Emit `agent.stuck` signal — `scout` zoom-out mode surfaces broader module map (structural pivot); `adversary` oracle-mode dispatches a stateless second-model pass (semantic pivot); both fire in parallel
- If `oracle.response` arrives with confidence=high and cites file:line, treat as new hypothesis H_oracle and test directly (skip 3-cycle gate — it's externally validated)
- Otherwise, escalate to `rune:problem-solver` for structured 5-Whys or Fishbone analysis
- Or escalate to `rune:sequential-thinking` for multi-variable analysis
- Report escalation in the Debug Report with all evidence gathered so far
</HARD-GATE>
## Triggers
- Called by `cook` when implementation hits unexpected errors
- Called by `test` when a test fails with unclear reason
- Called by `fix` when root cause is unclear before fixing
- `/rune debug <issue>` — manual debugging
- Auto-trigger: when error output contains stack trace or error code
## Calls (outbound)
- `scout` (L2): find related code, trace imports, identify affected modules
- `fix` (L2): when root cause found, hand off with diagnosis for fix application
- `brainstorm` (L2): 3-Fix Escalation when root cause is "wrong approach" — invoke with mode="rescue" for category-diverse alternatives
- `plan` (L2): 3-Fix Escalation when root cause is "wrong module design" — invoke for redesign
- `docs-seeker` (L3): lookup API docs for unclear errors or deprecated APIs
- `problem-solver` (L3): structured reasoning (5 Whys, Fishbone) for complex bugs
- `browser-pilot` (L3): capture browser console errors, network failures, visual bugs
- `sequential-thinking` (L3): multi-variable root cause analysis
- `neural-memory` (L3): after root cause found — capture error pattern for future recognition
- `adversary` (L2): on `agent.stuck` — oracle-mode dispatches stateless second-model pass to break confirmation-bias loop (parallel with scout zoom-out)
## Called By (inbound)
- `cook` (L1): implementation hits bug during Phase 4
- `fix` (L2): root cause unclear, can't fix blindly — needs diagnosis first
- `test` (L2): test fails unexpectedly, unclear why
- `surgeon` (L2): diagnose issues in legacy modules
## Cross-Hub Connections
- `debug` ↔ `fix` — bidirectional: debug finds cause → fix applies, fix can't determine cause → debug investigates
- `debug` ← `test` — test fails → debug investigates
## Execution
### Step 0: Build a Feedback Loop (the actual skill)
<MUST-READ path="references/feedback-loop-ladder.md" trigger="when current repro is not a single command returning pass/fail in <5s, or when bug is intermittent/multi-component"/>
**The loop is the speed limit.** A fast, deterministic, agent-runnable pass/fail signal turns debugging into mechanical bisection. Without one, hypotheses just consume noise.
Skip Step 0 only if the existing repro is already one command, deterministic, and runs in < 5s.
Otherwise, before Step 1: pick the highest viable rung from `references/feedback-loop-ladder.md` (10-rank ladder: failing test → curl → CLI snapshot → headless browser → trace replay → throwaway harness → fuzz → bisection → differential → HITL script). Construct it. Verify it currently FAILS (proves it measures the bug, not noise). Only then proceed.
If loop construction takes > 10 minutes, that itself is the diagnosis: the bug surface is too large or the system too coupled. Trigger the 3-Fix Escalation Rule (Step 6) — architecture is the problem, not the bug.
### Step 1: Reproduce
Understand and confirm the error described in the request.
- Read the error message, stack trace, and reproduction steps
- Identify which environment it occurs in (dev/prod, browser/server)
- Confirm the error is consistent and reproducible before proceeding
- If no reproduction steps provided, ask for them or attempt the most likely path
### Step 1.5: Scope Lock (Edit Boundary)
After reproducing the error, **lock edits to the narrowest affected directory** to prevent debug-driven scope creep — the #1 source of "while I'm here, let me also fix..." violations.
1. Identify the narrowest directory containing the affected files (from stack trace or error location)
2. Announce to user: "Debug scope locked to `<dir>/`. Changes will be restricted to this area."
3. Any fix recommendation in the Debug Report MUST reference only files within this boundary
4. If root cause traces outside the boundary → expand scope with user confirmation first
**Skip conditions** (do NOT lock):
- Bug spans the entire repo (3+ unrelated directories in stack trace)
- Cannot determine affected area from initial evidence
- User explicitly says "investigate everything"
**Why:** Debugging naturally expands scope as you trace root causes. Without a boundary, rune:fix receives recommendations touching 10+ files across unrelated modules. The scope lock forces discipline: fix at the source, not at every symptom site.
### Step 2: Gather Evidence
Use tools to collect facts — do NOT guess yet.
- Use `Grep` to search codebase for the exact error string or related error codes
- Use `Read` to examine stack trace files, log files, or the specific file:line mentioned
- Use `Glob` to find related files (config, types, tests) that may be involved
- Use `rune:browser-pilot` if the issue is UI-related (console errors, network failures, visual bugs)
- Use `rune:scout` to trace imports and identify all modules touched by the affected code path
#### Backward Tracing (for deep stack errors)
When the error appears deep in execution (wrong directory, wrong path, wrong value):
1. **Observe symptom** — what's the exact error and where does it appear?
2. **Find immediate cause** — what code directly triggers this? Read that file:line
3. **What called this?** — trace one level up. What value was passed? By whom?
4. **Keep tracing up** — repeat until you find where the bad value ORIGINATES
5. **Fix at source** — the root cause is where invalid data is CREATED, not where it CRASHES
Rule: NEVER fix where the error appears. Trace back to where invalid data originated.
#### Instrumentation Tip: Use console.error, Not Loggers
When adding diagnostic instrumentation, use `console.error()` (stderr) — NOT application loggers. Loggers are configured to suppress output based on log level or environment (e.g., `LOG_LEVEL=warn` silences `logger.debug`). `console.error` bypasses all logger configuration and writes directly to stderr. This is counterintuitive but critical — the one time you NEED debug output is exactly when loggers are configured to hide it.
#### Defense-in-Depth (After Root Cause Found)
When the root cause is invalid data flowing through multiple layers, recommend fixing at ALL layers — not just the source:
| Layer | Purpose | Example |
|-------|---------|---------|
| Layer 1: Entry Point | Reject invalid input at API/CLI boundary | Validate not empty, exists, correct type |
| Layer 2: Business Logic | Ensure data makes sense for the operation | Validate required params before processing |
| Layer 3: Environment Guards | Prevent dangerous operations in specific contexts | Refuse destructive ops outside allowed dirs |
| Layer 4: Debug Instrumentation | Capture context for forensics | Stack trace logging before dangerous operations |
All four layers are necessary. During testing, each layer catches bugs the others miss — different code paths bypass single validation points. When recommending a fix via `rune:fix`, explicitly call out which layers need validation added.
#### Multi-Component Instrumentation (for systems with 3+ layers)
When the system has multiple components (CI → build → deploy, API → service → DB):
Before hypothesizing, add diagnostic logging at EACH component boundary:
- Log what data ENTERS each component
- Log what data EXITS each component
- Verify environment/config propagation across boundaries
- Run once → analyze logs → identify WHICH boundary fails → THEN hypothesize
This reveals: "secrets reach workflow ✓, workflow reaches build ✗" — pinpoints the failing layer.
### Step 2b: Instrument with Preserved Markers
When adding diagnostic logging or instrumentation during investigation, mark ALL additions with region markers:
```
// #region agent-debug — [hypothesis being tested]
console.log('[DEBUG] value at boundary:', data);
// #endregion agent-debug
```
Language-appropriate equivalents:
- Python: `# region agent-debug` / `# endregion agent-debug`
- Rust: `// region agent-debug` / `// endregion agent-debug`
**Why preserved markers matter:**
- `rune:fix` will preserve these markers until the bug is fully resolved and tests pass
- If the bug recurs, markers show exactly what was previously instrumented
- Cleaning up debug traces before the fix is verified prevents learning from failure history
- After fix is verified + tests pass → fix will clean up markers in a final pass
<HARD-GATE>
ALL diagnostic code added during debug MUST be wrapped in `#region agent-debug` markers.
Unmarked instrumentation will be treated as stray code and removed prematurely.
</HARD-GATE>
**Observability gap as a finding.** If you had to add temporary `console.log` markers because the code emitted *nothing useful* about this path, that absence is itself a root-cause-adjacent signal: the bug was hard to diagnose because the system is blind here. When the fix lands, recommend converting the throwaway markers into **durable structured telemetry** (a stable event name + correlation ID, not prose) so the next occurrence is a query, not another archaeology session. This is advisory — note it in the report, don't block on it. Contract: `../deploy/references/observability.md`.
### Step 2c: Check Debug Knowledge Base
Before forming hypotheses, check `.rune/debug/knowledge-base.md`:
- If file exists → search for matching symptoms/error messages
- If match found → try known fix FIRST, skip hypothesis cycle
- If no match → proceed to Step 3
After successful root cause identification (Step 5), append entry:
```
### [date] — [symptom summary]
- **Symptom**: [error message or behavior]
- **Root Cause**: [what was actually wrong]
- **Fix**: [what resolved it]
- **Files**: [affected files]
```
This prevents re-debugging the same issue across sessions.
### Step 2d: Known Error Pattern Matching
Before forming hypotheses, match the error against common **error archetypes**. If a match is found, skip directly to the known fix approach — no hypothesis cycling needed.
**Error Pattern Catalog**:
| Pattern ID | Detection (Error Type + Keywords) | Root Cause | Recovery Hint |
|------------|----------------------------------|------------|---------------|
| `STATELESS_LOSS` | `NameError` / `ReferenceError` + variable defined in previous step | Execution context doesn't persist between tool calls | "Combine all variable definitions and usage in a single code block" |
