Common vibe coding walls
Name the wall.
Stop guessing.
Start with the symptom you can see. Each guide explains what it usually means, what to preserve, what to check first, and when another AI patch is the wrong move.

Can’t tell which wall came first?
If several symptoms overlap, the Audit gives us the customer journey and current stage needed to separate the first failure from everything it caused.
