## 5-Step Root-Cause Method
```
1. CAPTURE → Collect the full error, reproduce, define expected vs actual
2. ISOLATE → Narrow to the smallest failing case
3. HYPOTHESIZE → List and rank likely causes
4. INVESTIGATE → Test hypotheses, inspect state
5. FIX & VERIFY → Apply the minimal fix, confirm, prevent recurrence
