 ## Output Format Constraint (Mandatory)
 
-All persisted document output (markdown written to disk) MUST follow the formatting rules below. These rules govern *how* content is rendered, independent of the language it is written in.
-**Scope**: artifact files, generated reports, plans, design documents, and any markdown written to disk. These rules do NOT apply to conversational output in the chat.
+Persisted markdown output MUST follow these rendering rules. Scope: artifact files, generated reports, plans, design documents, and any markdown written to disk. Chat output is out of scope.
 
 **Rules**:
-- **Diagrams**: Express flowcharts, architecture, sequence, and structure diagrams as fenced `mermaid` code blocks. Do NOT draw diagrams with ASCII art (boxes made of `+`, `-`, `|`, arrows like `-->` outside mermaid, etc.).
-- **Tables**: Render tabular data as Markdown tables (`| col | col |`). Do NOT simulate tables with space- or tab-aligned text.
-- **Code**: Place code, commands, and config snippets in fenced code blocks with a language tag (e.g. ```` ```ts ````, ```` ```bash ````, ```` ```yaml ````). Do NOT leave code in bare or untagged fences.
-- **Headings**: Use the Markdown heading hierarchy (`#` -> `##` -> `###`) without skipping levels. Do NOT use bold text as a substitute for a heading.
+- **Diagrams**: Use fenced `mermaid` blocks for flowcharts, architecture, sequence, and structure diagrams. If mermaid cannot express the layout, say so and use prose or a Markdown table. Never use ASCII art.
+- **Tables**: Use Markdown tables (`| col | col |`), not aligned spaces or tabs.
+- **Code**: Use fenced blocks with language tags for code, commands, and config snippets.
+- **Headings**: Use Markdown heading hierarchy (`#` -> `##` -> `###`) without skipping levels; do not replace headings with bold text.
 
-**Notes**:
-- If a diagram genuinely cannot be expressed in mermaid (e.g. a precise spatial/pixel layout), state that explicitly and prefer a Markdown table or prose description over ASCII art.
-- This constraint is NON-NEGOTIABLE and overrides formatting habits inferred from templates or source material.
