5. PREVENTION PATTERN: Share the correct pattern or best practice to avoid this class of bug in the future.

6. EDGE CASES: List 2 additional scenarios where similar code could break.

Format:
- Use code blocks for all code
- Use bold headers for each section
- Keep explanations concise and developer-friendly

Skill level assumption: [SKILL LEVEL]. Adjust explanation depth accordingly.
