Worked walkthrough: turn a bug report into a high-signal Cursor fix
Use raw evidence, likely files, and explicit verification to drive a focused bug-fix run in Cursor.
A symptom-only bug prompt gives Cursor too much room to infer the wrong cause. Evidence → likely path → patch → targeted proof Common trap: summarizing the bug in natural language and expecting the model to rediscover the same evidence you already had. Attach evidence Provide the failing test, stack trace, screenshot, or console output that proves the bug exists. This moves the session from narrative to reproducible signal. Name the likely path Add the component, hook, or helper file most likely involved in the failing path. You narrow the code surface without pretending the bug is already diagnosed. Set…
