Prompt
I'm stuck on a bug: [DESCRIBE THE BUG IN YOUR OWN WORDS]. Before you suggest any fix: 1. Explain what you think the code is supposed to do, line by line 2. Identify exactly where the behavior diverges from expectations 3. State the root cause in one sentence Only after these three steps, propose a minimal fix. Do not touch anything else -- no refactors, no style changes, no "while we're here" improvements.
