In theory, an agent could use git-bisect to identify when a bug was introduced. But the operator would have to be more interested in understanding the root cause than in fixing the current form of the bug...

For me, Claude regularly looks at git blame after identifying a bug, then reads the commit message and other changes in the commit to understand the context of why that behavior was introduced like that. I wouldn't be surprised if it pulled out a git bisect

Then again, my standard instruction is something like "{bug description}. Find the root cause and propose possible solutions" so I guess I fit your profile

		Same, I basically take the derivative of a bug wrt every major dimension before I fix it.

Can you even do the latter without the former?
