Debug Mantra

A debugging framework that makes Claude recite a four-step mantra at the start of every debug session, then enforce it. The steps are: reproduce reliably, trace the fail path (debugger first, then knobs, then instrumentation), falsify your hypothesis before testing it, and cross-reference every experiment against a running ledger. It triggers automatically when you mention a bug or paste an error. The discipline is rigid by design. Claude won't let you theorize without a repro, won't let you fix without knowing the fail path, and maintains a breadcrumb log to catch contradictions. Honestly, it's heavy process, but if you've ever spent two hours chasing a ghost because you skipped the boring parts, this keeps you honest.
