## Task Breakdown

> **Instructions for Developer:** Update this checklist as you progress. Replace placeholders with actual implementation steps once you identify the root cause.

### Phase 1: Investigation
- [ ] Reproduce the bug locally
- [ ] Add logging/debugging to narrow down the issue
- [ ] Identify the root cause
- [ ] Update the "Root Cause" section above

### Phase 2: Test Preparation
- [ ] Write a test case that reproduces the bug
- [ ] Verify the test fails before the fix (confirms bug exists)
- [ ] Document expected test behavior

### Phase 3: Implementation
- [ ] **[UPDATE THIS]** - Replace with actual fix steps after investigation
- [ ] **[UPDATE THIS]** - Add specific code changes needed
- [ ] **[UPDATE THIS]** - Add more steps as needed
- [ ] Add error handling if needed

### Phase 4: Verification
- [ ] Verify the bug-reproducing test now passes
- [ ] Run all existing tests to check for regressions
- [ ] Test edge cases manually
- [ ] Add additional test cases if needed

### Phase 5: Cleanup
- [ ] Update code comments
- [ ] Update documentation if necessary
- [ ] Remove any debug code
- [ ] Commit changes
