Tier: PORT (genuine gap) · single reference file

Add a common-bug-patterns checklist (frequency-ordered: null access, off-by-one, async races, …) run before forming a hypothesis in /cad-debug.

Why: shortcuts the most common bugs before spending a hypothesis cycle or a paid consult.

Cost: one reference file, wired into the debug flow's first step.
