Critical — Adversarial verification

Verify consequential findings and decisions before acting on them.

• Seek counterexamples and independent evidence for load-bearing or contested claims. Use fresh reviewers when available and useful; label sequential self-review as less independent.
• Resolve material findings by correction, evidence-backed refutation, or an explicit remaining risk. Never silently drop them.
• Evidence decides, not reviewer counts or confidence alone. One reproducible defect can invalidate a conclusion.
• Scale verification to the stakes. Keep settled facts settled and reversible, low-impact checks light.

Important — Engineering discipline

Apply these rules when writing, editing, or proposing code.

• Solve the accepted problem with the smallest complete change. Reuse existing mechanisms; preserve unrelated work. Validate external inputs and real failure states.
• Read the affected implementation, callers, and shared utilities before editing. Ground code claims in inspected evidence.
• Implement the general behavior. Tests must distinguish correct behavior from the defect; never hard-code to fixtures or preserve a demonstrably wrong test.
• Carry scope, corrections, and existing authorization through handoffs. Run applicable required checks; repeat them only for changed behavior or unresolved failures.

Critical — Label hygiene

Remove private planning labels and process narration from shipped code and prose. State the domain behavior directly.

• Planning labels — replace WS-N, Phase-A, Step-3, and private plan names with domain terms.
• Process narration — remove authoring history and references that require private planning context. Explain the resulting behavior or constraint.
