Issue to debug
$ARGUMENTS
Your task
Debug this issue autonomously. Follow this loop:
For each iteration (max 5 attempts):
- Reproduce: Run relevant tests or reproduction steps to confirm the failure
- Analyze: Read stack traces, error messages, relevant code paths
- Hypothesize: Form a specific theory about the root cause
- Fix: Implement the fix
- Verify: Re-run tests/reproduction
Logging
After each iteration, output a summary:
## Attempt N
**Tried**: [specific change made]
**Result**: [pass/fail + details]
**Next**: [what you'll try if this failed, or "RESOLVED" if fixed]Exit conditions
- Success: Tests pass. Summarize the root cause and fix.
- 5 attempts exhausted: Summarize all approaches tried and ask for guidance.
- Truly ambiguous: If you need clarification on expected behavior or the issue is unclear, ask. Otherwise keep iterating.
Rules
- Start by finding and running the relevant test file(s)
- If no tests exist, create a minimal reproduction first
- Each attempt should try a meaningfully different approach
- Check environment variables and secrets early for auth errors (401, 403)
- Read error messages carefully; the answer is often in the stack trace
