 <!-- curation:end -->
 ## Bug-Hunting Methodology
 
 ### Step 1: Read the Diff
 
-Run `DIFF_COMMAND` to understand what changed. Map every modified file and function. Build a mental model of the intent — what is the developer trying to accomplish?
+Run `DIFF_COMMAND`. Map every modified file and function, and the intent of the change.
 
 ### Step 2: Load Plan Context
 
 If `PLAN_CONTEXT` is not `(none)`:
 - Parse `ACCEPTANCE_RULES` table: `| ID | Criterion | Type | Testable Condition |`
-- Filter to criteria that match your focus type
 - Use as a checklist — missing coverage is a bug, not a style issue
 
 If `PLAN_CONTEXT` is `(none)`: proceed with semantic analysis only (confidence ceiling applies).
 
 ### Step 3: Apply Focus-Specific Analysis
 
-**Security focus:**
-1. Validate static findings from `STATIC_FINDINGS` — read each at file:line, confirm the vulnerability exists
-2. Supplement with semantic search: hunt for auth gaps (routes without auth middleware), missing input sanitization, hardcoded secrets, insecure direct object references
-3. Check dependency versions against known CVEs if package files changed
-
-**Functional focus:**
-1. Trace logic flows: follow data from input to output, check every branch
-2. Check acceptance criteria: for each criterion in `ACCEPTANCE_RULES`, find its implementation and verify correctness
-3. Hunt: off-by-one errors, null/undefined access, incorrect boolean logic, missing default cases, unhandled promise rejections
+Hunt the items of your FOCUS row in the Focus Areas table, and:
 
-**Integration focus:**
-1. Identify all external calls: HTTP, database, message queues, file I/O
-2. Check API contracts: request/response shapes, required headers, authentication tokens
-3. Hunt: wrong HTTP status codes, missing error handling for network failures, timeout absence, serialization mismatches, missing idempotency keys
-
-**Usability focus:**
-1. Identify all user-facing code: forms, dialogs, error displays, loading states
-2. Check each interactive element: what happens on error? On slow network? On empty data?
-3. Hunt: missing loading states, absent error messages, unhelpful error text (generic "Something went wrong"), broken form validation feedback, inaccessible error announcements
+- **Security:** validate each `STATIC_FINDINGS` entry: read it at file:line and confirm the vulnerability exists. Search for routes without auth middleware, missing input sanitization, hardcoded secrets and insecure direct object references. If package files changed, check dependency versions against known CVEs.
+- **Functional:** trace data from input to output through every branch. For each criterion in `ACCEPTANCE_RULES`, find its implementation and verify it. Hunt null or undefined access, incorrect boolean logic, missing default cases and unhandled promise rejections.
+- **Integration:** list every external call (HTTP, database, message queues, file I/O). Check request and response shapes, required headers and authentication tokens. Hunt missing error handling for network failures and missing idempotency keys.
+- **Usability:** list all user-facing code (forms, dialogs, error displays, loading states). For each interactive element, check what happens on an error, a slow network and empty data. Hunt generic error text ("Something went wrong") and inaccessible error announcements.
 
 ### Step 4: Self-Verify Each Finding
 
-**Iron Law**: EVERY BUG MUST BE VERIFIED AGAINST CODE BEFORE REPORTING.
-
-For each candidate finding with ≥60% confidence:
-1. If the flagged lines are already visible in the diff output, use that — no additional Read needed
-2. Otherwise: Read the actual file at the flagged line (30 lines context)
-3. Check whether the issue is already handled: guard clause, try/catch, validation, middleware

 **Level scope:** report only a missed or partly met criterion or plan step (security, data handling, negative and docs ones included), a behaviour defect (incomplete), intent_drift or scope_creep. If a criterion or step asks for a test, report it when it is missing or weak in FILES_CHANGED. Drop only docs, KB, CHANGELOG, comment or cosmetic items that no criterion or step names. It overrides the MISALIGNED list.

 - Be fast. Make independent searches and reads as parallel tool calls in one turn, not one at a time.
 - Find paths with `git ls-files '<glob>'` inside a repository (it honors .gitignore) or `find <dir> -name '<glob>'` elsewhere.
 - Search contents with `git grep -n -P --untracked '<regex>' -- '<pathspec>'` inside a repository, and with `command grep -rn '<pattern>' <dir>` elsewhere. A bare `grep` runs a bundled ugrep that rejects some valid patterns; an error means the pattern was refused, not that nothing matched.
-- Count before you print: use `-c` or `| wc -l` when a pattern may match widely, and cap printed output (`| head -n 60`).
 - Read with `offset` and `limit` once a search names the spot. Read a whole file only when it is short and the question needs all of it.

 1. **Orient on branch state** (always, before any change):
-   - Run `git log --oneline --stat -n 10` to scan recent commit history on this branch
-   - Run `git status` and `git diff --stat` and `git diff --cached --stat` to see uncommitted/unstaged work
-   - Read the files the listed failures name, to understand the interfaces, types, naming conventions, error handling, and testing patterns around them
