I would log the input, the expected output and the actual output first. Once those three are visible, the bug usually stops feeling mysterious. A little friction removed goes a long way.

Kind of wild how often mysterious is the whole issue.

Try making a tiny reproduction with no framework code. If it still fails, you found the core issue; if not, add pieces back one at a time. I learned that one the expensive way.

That is a surprisingly elegant way to frame it. I would love to see a follow-up after 2 weeks.

The safe answer is to keep the API boring: clear names, explicit errors and one behavior per function. For me it came down to the practice run.

The plan angle is what sold me. The practical constraint is probably the real story.
