Practical workflow:
1) Reproduce the bug and capture a minimal repro + stack trace.
2) Add a failing unit test (Jest/ts-node).
3) Use GitHub Copilot in-editor to generate small candidate fixes and quick refactors.
4) If unclear, paste the failing test + stack trace + function into ChatGPT with: “Given the failing test and stack trace, list the root cause, two minimal TypeScript patches (diffs), and required test changes.”
5) Apply patch, run tests, iterate; then ask ChatGPT for a commit message and PR description.
