Apply a disciplined, systematic debugging process to isolate and fix errors:

1. Reproduction: Create a minimal, self-contained reproduction script in the scratch/ directory.
2. Inspection: Inspect raw error logs, traceback frames, and environment variables. Use native debugger tools (e.g. debugpy, Node inspect) or run print statements at boundary layers rather than guessing.
3. Surgical Fixes: Locate the root cause, apply a focused correction, and run targeted tests to confirm behavior before modifying surrounding code.
