# Debugging Protocol — Debugging Protocol teaches a disciplined four-phase investigation process that enforces root cause analysis before any code change. It prevents the common trap of jumping to fixes without understanding why problems exist, using the Iron Law (investigate first) and Three Strikes Rule (escalate after three failed attempts) to guide systematic problem-solving.
