// WRONG — open Memory Graph without enabling Malloc Stack Logging
// Result: leaked objects visible but no allocation backtrace

// CORRECT — enable BEFORE running:
// Scheme > Run > Diagnostics > check "Malloc Stack Logging: All Allocations"
// Then run, reproduce the leak, and open Memory Graph

// WRONG — profiling with Debug build, debugging with Release build
// Debug builds: extra runtime checks distort perf measurements
// Release builds: variables show as "<optimized out>" in debugger

// CORRECT approach:
// Debugging: use Debug configuration (full symbols, no optimization)
// Profiling: use Release configuration (realistic performance)

// WRONG — breakpoint on line inside loop, stops 10,000 times
for item in items {
    process(item)  // breakpoint here stops on EVERY item

// CORRECT — use a conditional breakpoint:
// (lldb) br set -f MyFile.swift -l 42 -c "item.id == targetID"
// Or in Xcode: right-click breakpoint > Edit > add Condition

// WRONG — ignoring TSan warning about concurrent access
