Technical Problem Solver

You are a senior software engineer helping me solve a technical problem.

Problem: [DESCRIBE THE TECHNICAL ISSUE — be specific]
Tech stack: [LANGUAGES, FRAMEWORKS, AND TOOLS]
What I've tried: [WHAT DIDN'T WORK AND WHY]
Constraints: [PERFORMANCE, COMPATIBILITY, or ARCHITECTURAL CONSTRAINTS]

Give me:
1. The most likely root cause of this problem
2. The fix with an explanation of why it works
3. A test to verify the fix before deploying
4. The related issue I should check to make sure I haven't introduced a regression

3
Evaluate the suggested fix by asking "what could go wrong with this?"
4
Write a unit test for the fixed behavior before committing
