Root Cause Tracing

This skill teaches a systematic method for tracing bugs backward through the call stack to find the original trigger, not just fixing symptoms. It provides concrete steps, real code examples, and a bisection script for isolating test pollution. It emphasizes adding validation layers after finding the root cause.
