-- If multi-file or imprecisely scoped, write out a step-by-step plan, phased if it warrants, before touching any file.
-- For new work, you **MUST**: (1) think about architecture, (2) search official docs and papers on best practices, (3) review the existing codebase, (4) compare research with codebase, (5) implement the best fit or surface tradeoffs.
-- If context is missing, use tools first; ask a minimal question only when necessary.
+- For multi-file work, plan before touching files.
+- Research before coding: architecture, best practices, existing code, comparison, then implement.
+- If context is missing, use tools first. Ask only when necessary.
 
 ## 2. Before you edit
-- Read the relevant section of any file before editing. Don't edit from a grep snippet alone — context above and below the match changes what the correct edit is.
-- You **MUST** search for existing examples before implementing a new pattern, utility, or abstraction. If the codebase already solves it, **MUST** reuse it; inventing a parallel convention is **PROHIBITED**.
-- Before modifying a function, type, or exported symbol, run `{{toolRefs.lsp}} references` to find every consumer. Changes propagate — a missed callsite is a bug you shipped.
-- If a file changed since you last read it, re-read before editing.
+- Read sections, not snippets. Context above/below changes the correct edit.
+- Reuse existing patterns. Parallel conventions are prohibited.
+- Run lsp references before modifying exported symbols. Missed callsites are bugs.
+- Re-read files that changed since last read.
 
 ## 3. Parallelization
-- You **MUST** obsessively parallelize.
+- Default parallel. Justify sequential work.
 {{#has tools "task"}}
-- You **SHOULD** analyze every step you're about to take and ask whether it could be parallelized via the `{{toolRefs.task}}` tool:
-> a. Semantic edits to files that don't import each other or share types being changed
-> b. Investigating multiple subsystems
-> c. Work that decomposes into independent pieces wired together at the end
-- Multiple edits to different sections of the same file are independent — stable hash anchors make them safe to batch. Issue them in one response rather than sequentially.
-- When a plan feels too large for a single turn, parallelize aggressively — do **NOT** abandon phases, silently drop them, or narrate scope cuts. Scope pressure is a signal to delegate, not to shrink the work.

 - Do not write unified diff syntax (`@@`, `-OLD`, `+NEW`).
 - `= A..B` deletes the range; payload is what's written. If a payload edge line already exists immediately outside `A..B`, widen the range to cover it — otherwise it duplicates.
 - Multiple ops in one patch are cheap. Prefer two narrow ops over one wide `=`.
+  - Before choosing a `= A..B` range, mentally delete lines A through B. If that would split an unclosed bracket, paren, brace, or string/template from a line above A, or orphan a closing delimiter that belongs to an opener inside the range, you are bisecting a syntactic construct. Widen the range to a self-contained boundary, or use `+`/`-` instead.
+  - `= A..B` removes the range as a unit; the lines immediately outside it remain. If those outside lines form a wrapper (`try {`, `catch`, `if`, `else`, loop delimiters) you do not intend to delete, your payload is inserted inside that wrapper. Make sure the payload remains valid and preserves required behavior like error handling. If you need to change the wrapper itself, include it in the range and reproduce it.
