How to Use & Customize This Template
1
Add to Repository
Save this file as `.github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/bug_report.md` in your Git repository root.
2
Fill Out Minimum Reproducible Example
Provide exact numbered steps that allow any developer to recreate the defect within 60 seconds.
3
Format Console Traces
Wrap error outputs and API responses inside code blocks to preserve line breaks and call stacks.
Pro Formatting & Best Practice Tips
- Include exact browser version numbers and OS platforms; browser-engine bugs often only trigger on specific versions.
- Always paste the complete unminified console error stack trace rather than just a screenshot.
- Mention if the bug reproduces in Incognito mode to rule out interference from browser extensions.
