urgent but calm debugging
AI App Bug Fixing
The AI fixed the button, then broke the login. I inspect the code, logs, data flow, and deployment path so the fix addresses the real issue and you understand what changed.

bugs I help with
The same bug keeps coming back for a reason.
why AI bug loops happen
The prompt fixes the symptom. The code still has the cause.
AI tools can change the nearest file, add another condition, or patch the visible error without tracing the whole flow. That is how one fix becomes three new bugs.
loop = [ "patch visible error", "miss shared auth state", "duplicate fallback logic", "deploy with missing env var", "same bug returns" ]
how I debug
Trace the failing flow until the fix is obvious.
Reproduce the issue
Confirm the bug instead of trusting the last AI explanation.
Inspect logs and config
Check runtime errors, env vars, deployment settings, database rules, and real failure messages.
Trace the failing flow
Follow the route, component, API call, auth state, and data path until the root cause is visible.
Fix and explain
Repair the root cause and explain what changed so you can keep building with less fear.
next step
Talk through the bug before another prompt makes it harder.
Use the free consultation to explain the broken flow, what the AI already tried, what the bug may touch, and whether a focused fix is the right next step.

Bug fixing questions
Yes. If the issue can be reproduced and the project is accessible, I can trace the failing flow and fix the root cause.
