Surgical patch

Reproduce failure first when economical; otherwise capture strongest available evidence.

  • Trace symptom to responsible mechanism.
  • Change narrowest layer that owns incorrect behavior.
  • Preserve unrelated behavior and user changes.
  • Avoid cleanup, renaming, and abstraction outside fix.
  • Add only regression proof relevant to task.

Run focused proof plus nearest affected gate. Stop when failure is fixed and regression proof passes.
