# Diagnose Root **Boundary**: Canonical, reusable 4-phase RCA engine. Invoked by `investigate-bug` (as step 2 of the end-to-end flow) and by `fix-bug` (when no bug file exists). Does not write the bug file — that is `investigate-bug`'s responsibility. Four phases — do not skip. Update the active `specs/bugs/BUG-*.md` file at each phase. ## Phases 1. **Reproduce** — minimal steps; record environment; capture logs. 2. **Isolate** — narrow to module/function; binary-search commits or config. 3. **Hypothesize** — list ranked hypotheses with falsification test each. 4. **Verify** — run falsification; confirm single root cause; link to fix plan. > **HARD GATE** — Do not propose a fix until phase 4 confirms one root cause with evidence. ## Verify → verify: `[ "$(grep -lE 'Reproduce' specs/bugs/BUG-*.md 2>/dev/null | grep -cv "\.okf\.md$")" -ge 1 ]`
