Bug Fix

This is a structured checklist workflow that walks you through fixing bugs the right way: reproduce first, find the root cause, implement a minimal fix, verify it works, then add regression tests. It includes templates for documenting reproduction steps, root cause analysis, and PR descriptions, plus code examples showing defensive patterns like null checks before array operations. The six-step process is deliberately rigid because it prevents the common mistakes like fixing symptoms instead of causes or shipping fixes without proof they actually work. If you tend to rush bug fixes or your team struggles with regressions, this gives you a repeatable framework that forces the discipline of proper verification and documentation.
