Quick brief
Use this when tests fail, builds break, or runtime behavior stops matching expectations and you want an agent to follow a disciplined debugging flow instead of improvising. The agent applies a reproduce, localize, reduce, fix, and guard-against-regression sequence. The boundary is failure triage and recovery workflow execution, not a generic IDE, debugger, or product listing.
