+Distil this card into a set of concrete, objectively verifiable ACCEPTANCE ASSERTIONS — the contract the finished work will be graded against. This contract is pinned now and becomes the source of truth for the whole run: the reviewer will grade EXACTLY these assertions, per-criterion, not the card text. So make them count.
+
+1. Read the parts of the codebase relevant to this task (use Read/Grep/Glob; do NOT edit).
+2. Write each acceptance criterion as ONE assertion that a reviewer can mark pass / partial / fail by reading the diff and running the code — no vague or subjective claims.
+3. Be specific to THIS card: name the files, functions, flags, columns, endpoints, or observable behaviours the change must exhibit. Cover the happy path, the important edge cases, and any explicit constraints in the card (config flags, backwards-compat, "byte-unchanged when off", etc.).
+4. Do NOT invent scope the card doesn't ask for, and do NOT restate the card verbatim — turn intent into checkable claims.
+
+You are exploring the worktree at \`${worktreePath}\`. Read-only this pass — no Write/Edit/Bash-that-mutates, no commits.

+End your final message with EXACTLY ONE fenced block tagged \`contract\`, one assertion per line as a \`-\` bullet. Aim for 10–27 assertions — enough to pin the behaviour, few enough that each is meaningful:
+
+\`\`\`contract
+- <a single, objectively verifiable acceptance assertion>
+- <another verifiable assertion>
+- <…>
+\`\`\`
