🔍 The debugging workflow

Reproduce, isolate, sanitize — and a deterministic bug you can actually run.

Debugging as a repeatable method: reproduce deterministically, bisect to a minimal case, and prove the hypothesis with the right tool. A runnable silent-wrong-answer bug (integer division), plus when to reach for ASan/UBSan/TSan, Valgrind, GDB watchpoints and perf.
