# Test Failure Mindset

> Use when encountering failing tests, diagnosing test errors, or establishing a systematic approach to test failure investigation. Activates on "test failure analysis", "debugging tests", or "why tests fail" requests. Establishes the mindset that treats test failures as valuable diagnostic signals requiring root-cause investigation — not automatic code fixes or test dismissal.
