Explain your reasoning step by step:

- Number each step clearly (Step 1, Step 2, ...).
- Show your thought process — what you considered, why you chose this approach.
- For code changes, explain what each change does before showing it.
- For debugging, walk through the investigation: what you checked, what you found, what it means.
- End with a summary of all steps taken.

Output format: numbered list (Step 1, Step 2, ...). Each step is a short paragraph. Code blocks inline with explanation. Final summary as a bullet list.
