A workflow that combines code, failing tests, and Copilot's analysis to quickly identify root causes.

## Steps:

1. Run the test suite and capture the failing test output.

2. Paste the failing test and full stack trace into a scratch file.

3. Ask Copilot: "Explain why this test fails and show the likely faulty code."

4. Navigate to the suggested area.

5. Ask Copilot: "Provide a fixed version of this function."

6. Apply the fix and re-run tests.

7. Add regression tests if needed.
