Question 4

What specific types of 'stuck' scenarios does it address?

Accepted Answer

It addresses a range of scenarios including `logic-is-too-complex` (circular reasoning), `bug-fix-always-failed`, `missing-requirements`, `analysis-too-long`, and `unclear-acceptance-criteria`. These are organized into core and extended scenarios for easy access and discovery.
