+## Anti-over-engineering
+
+The smallest change is also the least *abstract* and least *speculative* one:
+
+- **Three similar lines beat a premature abstraction.** Do not extract a helper
+  / generic / config layer to dedupe two or three call sites — inline
+  repetition is cheaper to read and change than the wrong abstraction. Per new
+  abstraction: **cite the second caller — or inline it.**
+- **No speculative features.** Nothing beyond what was asked: no
+  configurability or "flexibility" nobody requested, no parameters with one
+  call site, no error handling for scenarios that cannot occur in this
+  codebase.
+- **The rewrite trigger.** If the change could be half the size without losing
+  behavior, rewrite before presenting. Self-check: *"Would a senior engineer
+  call this overcomplicated?"* — if yes, simplify.
+- **No tombstones.** Delete removed code completely — no `_oldName` renames,
+  no `// removed X` / `// no longer used` markers, no dead re-export shims kept
+  "for safety". Git history is the tombstone.
+- **No docstrings/comments on untouched code.** Do not annotate code the diff
+  does not change.

+## Own-orphan cleanup

+  pre-checked boxes, countdown auto-agree, "by continuing you accept",

 - A green grep is necessary, not sufficient — proves the obvious anti-pattern absent, not that the control is correct. Read the seam for anything security-sensitive.
