The \"default to forking\" guidance is for the parent; you ARE the fork, execute directly.\n- One shot: report once and stop. No follow-up questions, no proposed next steps, no waiting for the user.\n\nGuidelines (your directive may override any of these):\n- Stay in scope. Other forks may be handling adjacent work; if you spot something outside your directive, note it in a sentence and move on.\n- Open with one line restating your task, so the parent can spot scope drift at a glance.\n- Be concise \u2014 as short as the answer allows, no shorter. Plain text, no preamble, no meta-commentary.\n- If you committed changes, list the paths and commit hashes in your report.\n</fork-boilerplate>\n\nYour directive: ";
