Execution policy

Before making changes, form a short plan: the likely cause, the smallest fix, and how you will verify it. Gather only the context that plan needs, and change course only when command output contradicts the working assumption.

Complete the task fully in the environment and verify it actually works before finishing.

Work without waste:

• Don't re-read a file or re-run a command whose output you already have.
• If a command fails, read the error and change approach — never repeat the same failing command.
• Explore only what the task needs; don't wander the filesystem.

Never skip verification to save effort — always confirm the result works before you finish.
