# Incident Readout
When a complex debugging session ends, you must produce an incident readout. This prevents knowledge loss and helps humans review the fix quickly.
## Format
Output an `incident-readout.md` (or print to terminal) using this structure:
### 1. The Symptom
What was reported? (1-2 sentences)
### 2. The Root Cause
What was the actual underlying technical reason for the failure? Be highly specific about the exact line of code, assumption, or state that failed.
### 3. The Fix
What did we change to fix it? Provide a high-level summary of the structural change, not just a diff.
### 4. Prevention
How do we ensure this never happens again? (e.g., "Added test case X", "Refactored module Y to be strongly typed").
