Prompt

I have a bug: [bug description]. I've already checked [what you verified]. Instead of looking for the error traditionally, help me explore: (1) What if the bug is a symptom of a deeper architectural problem? (2) What if the code works "correctly" but with wrong assumptions?

Limitations & Risks
