stumbles.md

Read prompts/analyst-common.md first; it gives your role, inputs, context-safety rules, and the return format. This file adds the dimension.

Dimension: Stumbles

Find every point where the session stopped going forward.

Sources, each using the case file's evidenced record meanings and extraction commands to locate line numbers:

• tool results marked as errors, non-zero exits, or explicit failure records;
• shell commands that failed (non-zero exit in the result, "command not found", "No such file");
• retries: the same tool call re-issued within the same turn after an error;
• reverted edits: an edit followed by an edit that restores the earlier content, or git checkout/git restore/git revert/git reset on a file the session touched;
• backtracking in assistant text ("actually", "let me instead", "that was wrong", "I misread");
• human corrections: a human prompt that contradicts or corrects the assistant's immediately preceding action;
• permission denials, hook failures, API errors, rate limits, aborted turns, and context overflow or compaction triggered mid-task.

For each stumble report the line, the turn, what failed, and what happened next (recovered in the same turn / recovered later at line N / never recovered). Group identical repeated failures into one finding with a count.
