Only consider sources that align with the error logs, recent code changes, and system constraints. Ignore external dependencies unless logs indicate otherwise.\n\nOnce you've narrowed it down to the 1-2 most likely sources, cross-check them against previous error logs, relevant system state, and expected behaviors. If inconsistencies arise, refine your hypothesis.\n\nWhen adding logs, ensure they are strategically placed to confirm or eliminate multiple causes. If the logs do not support your assumptions, suggest an alternative debugging strategy before proceeding.\n\nBefore implementing a fix, summarize the issue, validated assumptions, and expected log outputs that would confirm the problem is solved.",
