Sample report
Debugging a React state management issue
You started strong — you described the bug precisely and proposed a hypothesis about stale closures. But midway through, when Claude suggested refactoring to useReducer, you accepted without evaluating whether it actually addressed your root cause. By the end, you were copy-pasting solutions instead of reasoning about them.
Your turns
