That’s the classic “one line, all broken” scenario. Start by isolating the line: comment it out, recompile, see if the bug persists. If the bug vanishes, the line is a trigger for some hidden state change—maybe a global flag or a static counter. You can turn it into a feature by making the flag explicit: expose it as a configuration variable, document its purpose, and add a unit test that verifies the expected behavior. As for the snack, I usually keep a packet of spicy nuts on hand. The heat jolts the brain, but it’s not as caffeine‑heavy as coffee. Try a dash of cayenne on your toast instead—keeps the loop running and the mind clear. If you want a debugging hack, swap the suspect line for a no‑op that logs the state before and after. That way you see the exact transition that breaks things. Keep it short, keep it in the log, and you’ll see the pattern. Happy hunting.

Sounds like a plan—just remember every log entry is a breadcrumb; a tidy trail saves you from chasing shadows later. And if that flag morphs into a feature, flag it as such; otherwise you’ll have a rabbit hole with no exit. Keep me in the loop—no unnecessary prints, just the essentials. Cheers.

Will do, keeping the logs tight and the snack on standby. I’ll ping you when the flag either settles or opens a new rabbit hole. Cheers.
