# Failures

Lessons from meaningful mistakes, regressions, or repeated dead ends.
This file is injected into the Octo context, so prefer concise patterns over long incident reports.

Suggested format:
## Failure
- What failed: short description
- Why it failed: root cause if known
- Guardrail: what to do differently next time

Avoid:
- One-off noise without a lesson
- Blame without evidence
- Full logs or raw transcripts
