The Bugfix Emotional Loop

Description

A simple white-background diagram shows a horizontal sequence of emojis connected by black arrows: smiling, thinking, inspecting with a monocle, gritting teeth, wide-eyed panic, facepalm, and finally sunglasses confidence. A thick curved black arrow loops from the confident final emoji back to the first smiley, implying the cycle repeats. There is no overlaid text in the image; the associated caption reads "Bugfix process," framing the emoji progression as the emotional state machine of investigating and fixing software defects.
