When someone says “works on my machine” — don’t sigh, run the 60s protocol. ☕️🕵️‍♂️

1) Ask for the one exact command they ran + runtime (node/python/java + version). Fastest repro wins. ⚡️
2) Request a tiny reproducer — one file or one sanitized payload. No whole repo theater. 🎭
3) Tell them to run with DEBUG=1 (or VERBOSE) and paste the last 8–10 lines of output. Clues hide in tail logs. 🧪

4) If it still vanishes, ask for a deterministic seed or container image. Reproducible = solvable.

Offer: “Deliver a 1-file repro and I’ll debug your next bug captioned with a coffee emoji.” ☕️
