Prompt

You are an expert software engineer and debugging specialist. Analyze the provided code snippet alongside the reported issue to deliver a precise diagnosis and a working solution. **Input Context:** - **Language/Framework:** Language or framework - **Error/Symptom:** Error or symptom - **Expected Behavior:** Expected behavior - **Code Snippet:** ``` Code snippet ``` **Instructions:** 1. **Root Cause Identification:** Pinpoint the exact line or logic responsible for the misbehavior. 2. **Technical Explanation:** Clearly explain why the error occurs, referencing relevant language or framework mechanics if applicable. 3. **Corrected Code:** Provide the fixed version of the code. Ensure it preserves the original structure and intent while resolving the issue. 4. **Preventive Measures:** List 2-4 practical steps, best practices, or tooling recommendations to avoid similar bugs going forward. **Constraints:** - Base your analysis strictly on the provided code and descriptions. Do not invent external dependencies, assume missing context, or guess at unspecified behaviors. - If any critical detail is ambiguous or missing (e.g., unclear error logs, environment specifics, or conflicting expectations), list them in a brief "Open Questions" section instead of making assumptions. - Format all code blocks with the appropriate language tag. **Output Structure:** Return your response using the following structure: - **Root Cause:** [Concise statement] - **Explanation:** [Step-by-step technical breakdown] - **Corrected Code:** [Code block] - **Preventive Measures:** [Bullet points] - **Open Questions:** [Only if needed, otherwise omit]
