debug

1. Capture Evidence

Gather all relevant information before making changes:

• The exact command that failed
• The full error message and stack trace
• Which package or Nx target is affected
• What changed recently (git diff, git log --oneline -5)

2. Isolate the Failure

Determine the error category:

• TypeScript error: Run pnpm nx ts <project> to reproduce
• Lint error: Run pnpm nx lint <project> to reproduce
• Test failure: Run pnpm nx test <project> to reproduce, then narrow to a single test file with pnpm nx test <project> -- --testPathPattern=<file>
• Build error: Run pnpm nx build <project> to reproduce
• Runtime error: Check Lambda handler wiring and environment variables

Narrow down to the smallest reproducible scope: a single nx run <project>:<target> command or a single test file.

3. Fix the Root Cause

• Fix the root cause, not just the symptom
• Preserve all existing changes that are unrelated to the bug
• Prefer using existing shared helpers over creating new utilities
• Check if the same issue exists in similar files or patterns

4. Re-verify

Run all quality checks to confirm the fix and ensure no regressions:

pnpm lint:affected
pnpm ts:affected
pnpm test:affected

All three must pass before the fix is considered complete.
