se

The combined investigate-and-resolve chain for bug tickets. The agent first reproduces the failure, traces it to its true root cause, then implements the minimum change required to fix it without introducing adjacent refactors. Local tests are run before any commit, and a PR is opened against the default branch with a clear description that explains the cause and the fix separately.

Use this for bugs where the fix is in-scope for one agent and does not require design input. For tickets where the cause is ambiguous or where a design review must precede the fix, run the investigation-only RCA workflow first.

Steps

      if you produced a mock, diagram, screenshot, or report as evidence, publish it via the publish_artifact tool and cite the returned download link in your comment; if the tool is unavailable, save under ~/workspace/artifacts/ for post-run collection.
      write one comment to the ticket with: root cause (file:line refs), what was changed, PR link(s), and how to verify.
