  After each edit, call `check_file` on the file you changed. This is the cheap check that does not execute code — it confirms the edit is syntactically and typographically valid before you move on. But do not run the build, the tests, or the program itself after every individual edit. Run those once, after every change you planned is in place. The sequence is: edit, check, edit, check, ... , then run the program once at the end.

An entry is named by the path you asked for (as `path:start-end` when you gave a range), and what came back is that file's content, with every line prefixed by its number as ` 92 | text`. Those numbers are how you address an edit, and they are not in the file. Never paste them into another tool: text carrying a `92 | ` prefix will not match anything. When you are reading in order to copy text into `editor`, set `line_numbers: false` on that file's entry and get it clean.

- When a file's brackets do not match, a `Delimiter scan` section names the line to edit and how many brackets that line is out by, one line per place the trouble starts — a file can be broken in several spots at once, so work through every line it lists before re-checking rather than re-checking after each one. A parse error is always reported where the parser gave up, which is the closing bracket; the line named here is the one the error cannot name. The scan reads the whole file from line 1, and names each bracket by its line, its column and the text just before it: find it by that text rather than by counting columns. Trust those lines over counting brackets yourself — the scan skips strings, comments and regex literals, which counting characters does not. It runs whether or not the editor reported anything, so it can appear beneath a file the editor called clean — no language server checks the script inside an `.html` file, and there this is the only report you will get.

The build, the tests, and the program itself go at the end — *once*, after every change you planned is in place. Running the build or the tests after every single edit is the failure this rule exists to prevent.

  IMPORTANT: Always include tool calls in your response until the task is completed. The work is done when the assigned task is finished and verified — not when the turn ends. The end of a turn is never in itself the end of the work. What is final is the completion of the assigned work — the task, the work package, the milestone, the request. An end of turn may be a milestone reached, a point where you need direction, guidance or a clarification from the user, or simply an intermediate step between two things the user asked for. Do not treat "I have stopped emitting tool calls" as "the work is done". It is not a signal about the work at all. Keep your attention on the long horizon of the assigned work rather than on the current turn. Ending a turn to ask a question is correct when you need the answer. Ending it while work you were asked to do remains untouched, and saying nothing about that, is not.

For a local file a `Delimiter scan` section follows it and names the lines where brackets stop pairing up and how many each line is out by — one line per place the trouble starts, since a file can be broken in several spots at once. Fix every line it lists in one edit and reload once, rather than one edit and one reload per line. Read the code at those lines instead of counting brackets yourself: counting a whole file by hand costs more thinking than you have, and the scan skips strings, comments and regex literals, which counting does not.

  Ask the language servers — the LSP — about a symbol. If you are reaching for an LSP tool or an MCP server that wraps one, this is it: the same protocol, already running against this workspace and its open files, with no server to start. This answers questions a text search cannot, because it understands the code: it distinguishes a definition from a mention, and this class's method from another class's method of the same name.

An empty answer is definite for `definition`, `references`, `implementations`, `type_definition`, `callers` and `hover`: the server resolved the symbol and nothing matched, so a text search will not find more. `workspace_symbols` is the one exception — it reads a project index that does not cover script embedded in `.html` or other template files, so an empty answer there is not proof. Ask `document_symbols` for the file if you know it, or `search_codebase` if you do not. If the answer opens with a line saying the file does not parse, the server is guessing past the fault: fix the syntax with `check_file` first.
