To fix or version back?

When the bot breaks the code, is it generally best to let it try to fix, or to revert to a previous version and try something different?

I’ve tried ‘auto-fix’ many times with limited results, which makes sense. If the bot made a mistake, it’s likely not able to see what the problem is, or it should not have made the blunder in the first place.

In this case the auto-fix caused the bot to regenerate practically the entire code base, taking seven minutes to run, and burning a thousand tokens. (But it did work.)

I’ve got into the habit if rolling back when things aren’t going the right direction, but that too gets expensive, and I’m making limited progress.

Both are actually viable depending on the situation. A good way to gauge it is to look at the error message after each fix attempt. If the error message changes, that is a sign that progress is being made and it is worth continuing to let it try to fix. If the error message stays the same, that is a good indicator that it is not making progress and reverting would be the better move at that point.
