🔍 Daily Dig

A proactive bug hunt across the Breadboard codebase. Pick an area, go looking, and produce a concrete artifact (test, lint rule, or codemod) for anything you find.

Steps

1. Scout — Choose a hunting ground. Good options:
   • Recently changed files (git log --oneline -20 -- <path>)
   • Complex modules with low test coverage
   • TODO, FIXME, HACK, WORKAROUND comments
   • Error handling patterns (catch blocks, as any casts)
   • Event listener add/remove symmetry
   • Async race conditions

// turbo 2. Hunt — Search for bugs, quirks, or gaps using grep, code reading, and pattern analysis. Look for:

• Silent failures (errors swallowed, missing null checks)
• Algorithm edge cases (empty inputs, cycles, overflow)
• Missing cleanup (listeners, timers, subscriptions)
• Bypassed guards (code paths that skip validation)

3. Catch — When you find something, name it. Good names are memorable and descriptive (e.g., "The Silent Stacking", "The Phantom Caret").

4. Tag — Write a concrete artifact:

   • Test (preferred) — documents the bug and prevents regression
   • Lint rule — prevents the pattern from recurring
   • Convention test — enforces architectural invariants
   • Codemod — fixes all instances of a pattern

// turbo 5. Log — Add a short entry to the Hall of Fame below.

// turbo 6. Verify — Run the test to confirm it passes (for BUG-prefixed tests, assert the current broken behavior so it passes now but documents what's wrong).
