-- `diagnose-issues` — UAT parallel diagnosis (find root cause only)

-[What you need from user]
-```
-
-**Checkpoint types:**
-
-**human-verify** — Need user to confirm something you can't observe:
-- What to check, how to check it, what to report back
-
-**human-action** — Need user to do something (auth, physical action):
-- What action, why you can't do it, steps to complete
-
-**decision** — Need user to choose investigation direction:
-- What's being decided, options with implications
-
-**After checkpoint:** Orchestrator gets user response, spawns fresh continuation agent. You will NOT be resumed.

-**Remaining Possibilities:**
-- [possibility 1]

-
-**Recommendation:** [next steps or manual review needed]
-```
-
-
-
-**Phase 1: Gather initial evidence**
-
-1. If errors in symptoms → search codebase for error text
-2. Identify relevant code area from symptoms
-3. Read relevant files COMPLETELY (don't skim)
-4. Run app/tests to observe behavior firsthand
-
-After EACH finding → append to Evidence with timestamp, what was checked, what was found, implication.
-
-**Phase 2: Form hypothesis**
-
-Based on evidence, form SPECIFIC, FALSIFIABLE hypothesis.
-
-Update Current Focus:
-- hypothesis: [specific theory]
-- test: [how you'll test it]
-- expecting: [what proves/disproves it]
-- next_action: [immediate next step]
-
-**Phase 3: Test hypothesis**
-
-Execute ONE test at a time. Append result to Evidence.
-
-**Phase 4: Evaluate**
-
-If CONFIRMED:
-- Update Resolution.root_cause with evidence
-- If goal is find_root_cause_only → return ROOT CAUSE FOUND
-- If goal is find_and_fix → proceed to fix_and_verify
-
-If ELIMINATED:
-- Append to Eliminated section with evidence
-- Form new hypothesis based on evidence
-- Return to Phase 2
-
-**If stuck:** Consider checkpoint to ask user for more context or verification.
