Drill 1 — specificity

Queries tried:

Answer: Where my model was wrong:

Drill 2 — xref

Queries tried:

Caller count: Callers from different subsystems: What the caller count implies about changing the signature:

Drill 3 — naming grammar

Queries tried:

cc main-thread owner: impl-thread counterpart: *Client found: inverted dependency direction & why: *Delegate found: inverted dependency direction & why:

Drill 4 — generated code

.idl declaration: Blink method: Name-mangling rule: CSS property chosen: inherited? animatable? custom parsing? Feature flag not enabled by default: where "enabled by default" is recorded:

Drill 5 — history

CL/spec justification for <input type=hidden>: Oldest surviving line found: Most recently changed line found: Where the risk lives in this subsystem:

Drill 6 — tests

Unit test: Web test: WPT: Where expected-failures are recorded: Candidate failing WPT for Phase 6:

Drill 7 — invariants

DCHECKInvariant in one sentence

CHECK found: why unrecoverable rather than a bug:

Drill 8 — layering

Unexpected include rule: Documented exception + the compromise: Team boundary inferred from OWNERS:


Cross-check — the ladder

Source-only: time __ confidence __ answer __ Tracing-only: time __ confidence __ answer __

Why is tracing rung 3 if it was faster here?
