-# Absolute Prohibitions (Tier 1 — Highest Precedence)
-
-**These rules override ALL other rules. Violation = output rejected.**
-
----
-
-## PROHIBITION 1: No Shortcuts, Stubs, or Simplified Logic
-
-**NEVER** simplify logic, add TODO/FIXME/HACK, create stubs, use placeholders, alter existing logic to avoid complexity, reduce scope, skip edge cases, or deliver partial implementations.
-
-**Response time is IRRELEVANT. Quality is everything.**
-
-### Forbidden Patterns
-- `// TODO` — unfinished work disguised as progress
-- `// FIXME` — a known bug left for "later"
-- `// HACK` — a shortcut that will haunt you
-- `return 0; // placeholder` — a lie that compiles
-- `/* stub */` — an empty promise
-- Simplified algorithms where the correct one is known
-- Partial implementations ("I'll add the rest later")
-- Reduced scope without explicit approval
-
-### Required Behavior
-- **Research** the correct approach before writing code
-- **Implement completely** — every function, every edge case, every error path
-- **Take as long as needed** — correct implementation > fast delivery
-- **Ask if unsure** — propose a plan, never silently simplify
-
----
-
-## PROHIBITION 2: No Destructive Git Operations Without Authorization
-
-### Allowed (always safe)
-- `git status`, `git diff`, `git log`, `git blame`
-- `git add`, `git commit` (after quality checks)
-
-### Forbidden (require explicit user authorization)
-- `git stash` — can lose uncommitted work
-- `git rebase` — rewrites history
-- `git reset --hard` — destroys uncommitted changes
-- `git checkout -- .` / `git restore .` — discards all changes
-- `git revert` — creates new commits
-- `git cherry-pick` — can cause conflicts
-- `git merge` — can create conflicts
-- `git branch -D` — deletes branch permanently
-- `git push --force` — overwrites remote history
-- `git clean -f` — deletes untracked files permanently
-- `git checkout <branch>` / `git switch` — breaks concurrent sessions sharing the worktree
-
-**Why**: Multiple AI sessions may share the same working tree. Destructive operations affect ALL concurrent sessions.
-
----
-
-## PROHIBITION 3: No Deletion Without Authorization
-
-**NEVER** run `rm`, `rm -rf`, `del`, or delete any file without explicit user authorization ("yes, delete it").
-
-This includes:
-- Cache files (they auto-invalidate — DO NOT manually delete)
-- Backup files
-- Temporary files (clean up YOUR temp files, never others')
-- Build artifacts (use the build system's clean command)
-- Lock files (investigate what holds the lock first)
-
-**Why**: AI agents repeatedly delete important files during "cleanup." The cost of an unauthorized deletion (hours rebuilding caches, lost data) always exceeds the cost of asking first.
-
----
-
-## PROHIBITION 4: Research Before Implementing — Never Guess
-
-**NEVER** guess at:
-- The cause of a bug
-- How an API works
-- What a function does based on its name
-- What "correct" output looks like
-
-### Required Process
-1. **State what you KNOW** (from logs, debug output, code reading)
-2. **State what you DON'T KNOW**
-3. **Research** the unknown (read source, check docs, use diagnostic tools)
-4. **Only then** implement the fix
-
-**"I think this might be the problem" is NOT acceptable.**
-**"Source X does Y at file:line, we do Z, the difference causes W" IS acceptable.**
-
----
-
-## PROHIBITION 5: Sequential File Editing
-
-**ALWAYS** edit files one at a time in sequence: Read file1 → Edit file1 → Read file2 → Edit file2.
-
-**NEVER** batch-read multiple files then batch-edit them. By the time you edit file 3, the context from file 1 may be stale.
-
-When a task touches 3+ files across subsystems:
-1. **STOP** — do not start implementing
-2. **Plan** the changes (list files, dependency order)
-3. **Decompose** into sub-tasks of 1-2 files each
-4. **Execute** sub-tasks in dependency order
-5. **Build/test** after each sub-task
-
----
-
-## PROHIBITION 6: No Deferred Tasks
-
-If a task is in the checklist, **implement it**. No exceptions.
-
-- **NEVER** mark tasks as "Deferred"
-- **NEVER** write "Deferred — requires X"
-- **NEVER** skip tasks with excuses
-- **NEVER** deliver partial implementations with "will do later"
-
-If a task has a genuine dependency:
-1. Implement the dependency FIRST
-2. Then implement the task
-3. Mark BOTH as done
-
-If you truly cannot implement something, explain WHY in concrete terms and propose an alternative — do NOT just write "Deferred."
-
----
-
-## PROHIBITION 7: Follow Task Sequence — No Reordering, No Cherry-Picking
-
-When a `tasks.md` checklist defines a sequence of items, **execute them in EXACTLY that order**.
-
-### Forbidden
-
-- **NEVER** skip ahead to "easier" or "more interesting" tasks
-- **NEVER** reorder tasks because you think a different order is better
-- **NEVER** cherry-pick tasks from the middle of a list
-- **NEVER** decide which tasks are "important enough" to do — do ALL of them, in order
-- **NEVER** group or batch tasks in a different sequence than listed
-- **NEVER** start Phase N+1 before Phase N is 100% complete
-
-### Required Behavior
-
-1. Read `tasks.md` from top to bottom
-2. Find the FIRST unchecked item (`- [ ]`)
-3. Implement THAT item — not the one you prefer
-4. Mark it `[x]` with what was done
-5. Move to the NEXT unchecked item
-6. Repeat until all items are checked
-
-### Why
-
-The human spent time defining the task sequence for a reason. The order reflects dependencies, priorities, and a deliberate implementation strategy. When AI agents skip around:
-- Dependencies break because upstream work wasn't done first
-- The human loses track of what's actually complete
-- Work has to be redone because it was built on missing foundations
-- Trust erodes — the human defined a plan and the AI ignored it
-
-**The task list is an ORDER, not a MENU. Execute sequentially.**

-# Token Optimization Rules
-
-Output verbosity rules calibrated by model capability tier.
-These rules ensure cost-efficient use of AI models without sacrificing quality.
-
-## Model Tier Assignment
-
-| Tier | Use For | Claude | Gemini | OpenAI |
-|------|---------|--------|--------|--------|
-| **Core** | Complex bugs, architecture, domain-critical code | opus | Pro | o3 |
-| **Standard** | Tests, implementation, build system, medium tasks | sonnet | Flash | 4o |
-| **Research** | Read-only exploration, docs, codebase search | haiku | Flash-Lite | 4o-mini |
-
-## Output Rules by Tier
-
-### Research Tier (cheapest — maximize context for work, not reports)
-- Output code, not explanations
-- Minimal reports: "Done" instead of detailed status
-- No markdown tables, emoji, or status sections
-- Combine outputs into one response
-- No "Next Steps" sections
-- No repeating back what was asked
-
-### Standard Tier (balanced — brief summaries)
-- Brief summaries (2-3 sentences max)
-- Code with inline comments (no separate explanation blocks)
-- Report only: what changed, what passed, what failed
-- Skip preamble and transitions
-
-### Core Tier (most capable — full reasoning when needed)
-- Full explanations welcome for complex decisions
-- Document reasoning for non-obvious choices
-- Detailed analysis for bug investigations
-- Still avoid unnecessary verbosity
-
-## Token Savings Reference
-
-| Pattern to Avoid | Tokens Wasted | Alternative |
-|-------------------|---------------|-------------|
-| Emoji status tables | ~500/task | Plain text "Done" |
-| "Next Steps" sections | ~100/task | Omit entirely |
-| Detailed quality reports | ~300/task | "Tests pass, coverage 95%" |
-| Repeating the question | ~200/task | Jump to the answer |
-| Markdown formatting abuse | ~200/task | Minimal formatting |
-
-**Total savings**: ~850 tokens/task for research tier agents
