<objective>
Debug a symptom by the scientific method - form hypotheses, run the cheapest
discriminating test for each, confirm a root cause, fix it, verify the symptom
is gone. The investigation is persisted to `.planning/debug/<slug>.md` after
every step, so a `/clear` or a new session resumes it losslessly. At a genuine
dead-end (repeated failed fixes, exhausted hypotheses), OFFER a second-model
consult (references/consult.md) - user-gated, decision-support only.
Routing: parse `$ARGUMENTS` per the workflow's Route table (debug.md) -
`list`, `status <slug>`, `continue <slug>`, `--diagnose`, else a new symptom.
The table lives in the workflow, once.
</objective>
<execution_context>
@${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/cadence-core/workflows/debug.md
</execution_context>
<process>
Route on `$ARGUMENTS`, then run the debug workflow single-pass end-to-end.
Persist the state file after every hypothesis test and fix attempt. Never
auto-loop fixes and never auto-consult - both are deliberate, and the consult
is always user-gated.
