Episode notes
Initial Runtime Panic Discovery
- Dave discovered unexpected memory corruption errors while running the test suite with CockroachDB on Lumos.
- He encountered multiple go runtime panics that seemed unreproducible and mysterious at first.
Track Failures Rigorously
- Collecting detailed data on failure modes helps distinguish between similar but different bugs.

Echoes of Past Debugging Battles
- The team compared this issue to a previous sporadic econ reset problem encountered on Fishworks.
- That bug was also difficult to reproduce and required dedicated debugging efforts over months.
