Post-Mortem: Crumb Debugging After Total Failure
Root cause analysis of a flat kitchen brick: Under-proofing vs. over-proofing, proteolysis, and how to patch the bug in the next sprint.
Incident Report: Sourdough Incident #042
Severity: P1 (Loaf flat as a stone, breakfast emergency)
Root Cause: Ambient room temperature climbed to 28°C unexpectedly during bulk fermentation, accelerating enzymatic breakdown (proteolysis) before shaping.
Resolution: Shifted to cold refrigeration earlier and implemented temperature probe telemetry.
