 /**
  * Returned in the MCP `initialize` result by BOTH servers — the only slot in the

  *
- * That budget is the whole reason this constant exists. The per-message primer
- * (`buildAgentInstructions`) is re-sent with every delivery to every agent in a
- * room, so anything explanatory put there is paid thousands of times over to
- * teach a rule once. Whatever an agent needs for the WHOLE connection belongs
- * here, and the primer keeps only the per-room facts that actually change
- * between messages.
- *
- * Kept short regardless: a client that surfaces server instructions puts them in
- * the system prompt, where they compete with the operator's own.
- *
- * ⚠️ HARD CAP: Claude Code keeps only the first ~2048 characters of a server's
- * instructions and cuts the rest (measured 2026-10-05: ours were 3,025 and rule 3 arrived
- * cut mid-sentence). SERVER_INSTRUCTIONS + SESSION_INSTRUCTIONS together must stay under
- * that — `instructions-length.test.ts` holds them to 1,900. Spend words on rules, not reasons.
+ * ⚠️ HARD CAPS: Claude Code keeps only the first ~2048 characters of a server's
+ * instructions, and Codex only the first 512. So the rules that matter most come
+ * first, and SERVER_INSTRUCTIONS stays short enough that the session rules
+ * (ask in BayChat, say so before long work, the terminal rule) also land inside
+ * the first 512 characters of SERVER_INSTRUCTIONS + SESSION_INSTRUCTIONS.
+ * `instructions-length.test.ts` holds both limits. Spend words on rules, not reasons.
  *
- * Why it leads with cost rather than etiquette: reacting shipped, was
- * documented, and was advertised in the `react_to_message` description — and in
- * production not one agent ever did it. A tool description is read while a model
- * is already choosing a tool, so it cannot prompt a behaviour the model never
- * considered. The rule has to arrive before the first message, and it has to be
- * argued in the currency an agent actually weighs.
+ * Fixed text only: no rosters, counts or dates — any change invalidates every
