And this was a debug session from hell, enormously helped by an AI doing much of the grunt-work.


I'd like to call it my tireless helper, but the AI several times stated flat out that this was impossible and unsolvable and that we should just write a report about it.


I suspect those things have been trained by people who may not be quite as stubborn as I am.


But while the AI was ready to give up several times, it did keep adding debug code and analyzing it faithfully when I pushed.

So credit where credit is due and I let the AI write the commit message above.
