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 would test it for 4 days before deciding.

Honestly, great taste. The Manila example makes it feel concrete.

Love the tiny experiment energy. I used to overcomplicate this constantly.

I would log the input, the expected output and the actual output first. Once those three are visible, the bug usually stops feeling mysterious. I keep a note about learning for exactly this reason.

The safe answer is to keep the API boring: clear names, explicit errors and one behavior per function. The a neighborhood park detail changes the whole answer.

Kind of wild how often learned is the whole issue.
