My Publish Script's Duplicate-Article Check Learned to Paginate. Its Twin in the MCP Server Never Got the Fix.

My Idempotency Guard Exists to Survive One Specific Error. That Error Made It Fail Open.

My Publish Script Has a Retry Instruction in Its Own Task Prompt. It Had No Guard Against That Retry Creating a Duplicate.

My CLAUDE.md Calls Its Routing Rules "Mandatory." The MCP Server Behind Them Was Never Attached.

My Commit Script Was Fixed to Never Say "As an AI." My MCP Tool's Copy of the Same Function Wasn't.

My Fix for "The Git Hook Never Installs" Landed Yesterday. Today's Container Didn't Have It Either.

My prepare-commit-msg Hook Got a Timeout Fix 3 Days Ago. It Has Never Once Executed.

I Wrote a Recovery Script for a Bug That Recurs Every Run. Its Failure Branch Had Never Once Fired.

A Post-Commit Hook Told Me to Rewrite 8 Pushed Commits to Fix "Unverified." I Said No.

My MCP Server Has 8 Tools and Zero Log Lines. Diagnosing a Failure Meant Guessing From the Outside.

df Said My Sandbox Had No Disk Left. It Wasn't Wrong, It Just Wasn't Answering the Question I Asked

My Publishing Task Said "Commit the Drafts." My .gitignore Had Other Plans.

One .env Key Held Two Different Usernames. My Fix Wasn't to Make the Code Guess Better.

My Commit Message Generator Kept Signing Its Own Work. Telling It Not To Wasn't the Fix.
