Code review found fatal bugs preventing startup, yet system worked. Linear analysis: stuck at contradiction. Hermeneutic approach: 5 iterative context expansions revealed dual implementations—bugs in abandoned Nov 5 Node.js exploration (cost: $75-150/mo), production on Cloudflare Workers ($5/mo). The bugs were vorhanden (present-at-hand) but not zuhanden (ready-to-hand/operative). Reproducible 5-step method documented.
