Phase 1: Reproduce & Understand

Identify the Bug

  1. Reproduce: Follow exact steps to trigger the bug
  2. Expected: What SHOULD happen (user's mental model)
  3. Actual: What IS happening (current behavior)
  4. Root cause: WHY it's happening (code analysis)

Locate in Architecture

Reference: docs/ARCHITECTURE.md

LayerLocationWhat to look for
DomainSources/Domain/Incorrect business logic, missing invariants
InfrastructureSources/Infrastructure/Parsing errors, CLI/API issues
AppSources/App/View state issues, binding problems

Domain Invariants

Check if the bug violates domain invariants that should be maintained:

// Example: QuotaMonitor should maintain selection invariants
// - selectedProviderId should always point to an enabled provider
// - Domain should be self-validating (no external "ensure" calls needed)

Phase 2: Write Failing Test (Red)

Chicago School TDD

We follow Chicago School TDD (state-based testing):

  • Test state changes and return values, not interactions
  • Focus on the "what" (observable outcomes), not the "how" (method calls)
  • Mocks stub dependencies to return data, not to verify calls
  • No verify() calls - assert on resulting state instead

Test Pattern

Test the CORRECT behavior, not the bug:

@Suite
struct {Component}Tests {

    @Test func `{describes correct behavior}`() {
        // Given - setup that triggers the bug scenario
        let settings = makeSettingsRepository()
        let claude = ClaudeProvider(probe: MockUsageProbe(), settingsRepository: settings)
        claude.isEnabled = false  // Bug trigger condition

        // When - action that should work correctly
        let monitor = QuotaMonitor(providers: AIProviders(providers: [claude, codex]))

        // Then - assert EXPECTED behavior (will FAIL before fix)
        #expect(monitor.selectedProviderId == "codex")  // Not "claude"
    }
}

Test Location

Bug LocationTest Location
Sources/Domain/Monitor/Tests/DomainTests/Monitor/
Sources/Domain/Provider/Tests/DomainTests/Provider/
Sources/Infrastructure/CLI/Tests/InfrastructureTests/CLI/

Run Test (Should FAIL)

swift test --filter "{TestSuiteName}"

Phase 3: Fix & Verify (Green)

Fix Guidelines

  1. Minimal change: Fix only what's broken
  2. Domain first: Prefer fixing in domain layer when possible
  3. Maintain invariants: Domain should be self-validating
  4. No over-engineering: Don't refactor unrelated code

Domain Design Principles

When fixing domain bugs, ensure:

// 1. Domain maintains its own invariants
public init(...) {
    // Validate on construction
    selectFirstEnabledIfNeeded()  // Called internally, not externally
}

// 2. Public API hides implementation details
public func setProviderEnabled(_ id: String, enabled: Bool) {
    provider.isEnabled = enabled
    if !enabled {
        selectFirstEnabledIfNeeded()  // Private - called automatically
    }
}

// 3. Private methods for internal invariant maintenance
private func selectFirstEnabledIfNeeded() { ... }

Verify Fix

# Run the specific test (should PASS now)
swift test --filter "{TestSuiteName}"

# Run ALL tests to ensure no regressions
swift test

Checklist

  • Bug reproduced and understood
  • Root cause identified in code
  • Failing test written (exposes bug)
  • Test FAILS before fix
  • Minimal fix implemented
  • Test PASSES after fix
  • All existing tests still pass
  • Domain invariants maintained (if applicable)
  • CHANGELOG updated with fix description

nano-banana-pro

garg-aayush

Generate and edit images using Google's Nano Banana Pro (Gemini 3 Pro Image) API. Use when the user asks to generate, create, edit, modify, change, alter, or update images. Also use when user references an existing image file and asks to modify it in any way (e.g., "modify this image", "change the background", "replace X with Y"). Supports both text-to-image generation and image-to-image editing with configurable resolution (1K default, 2K, or 4K for high resolution). DO NOT read the image file first - use this skill directly with the --input-image parameter.
