-2. **No longer true at the ref** — the code the rule governs is gone or changed so the rule
-   cannot apply; `scope-matches-nothing` is a prompt to check. A missing file is not proof
-   alone: an entry that records removing or replacing something is confirmed by the
-   absence. When the lesson still applies elsewhere, rewrite it (`put-observation --update`
-   with a corrected scope) and Keep it; otherwise retire it as `Retired`.
-3. **Duplicate** — another active entry covers the same concern; `duplicate-obs-id` always
-   means one does. Choose the survivor: the more precise entry, or the more accurate type
-   when an ADR and a PF cover one incident. Absorb what only the other says into the
-   survivor with `put-observation --update`, then retire the other as `Superseded` by the

-
-**Process:**
-1. Merge implementation steps with testing strategy
-2. Apply execution strategy analysis to determine Code agent deployment
-3. Identify dependencies between steps
-4. Assess context risk based on file count and module breadth
-
-**Execution Strategy Decision:**
-
-Analyze 3 axes to determine strategy:
-
-| Axis | Signals | Impact |
-|------|---------|--------|
-| **Artifact Independence** | Shared contracts? Integration points? Cross-file dependencies? | If coupled → SINGLE_CODE_AGENT |
-| **Context Capacity** | File count, module breadth, pattern complexity | HIGH/CRITICAL → SEQUENTIAL_CODE_AGENTS |
-| **Domain Specialization** | Tech stack detected (backend, frontend, tests) | Determines DOMAIN hints |
-
-**Context Risk Levels:**
-- **LOW**: <10 files, single module → SINGLE_CODE_AGENT
-- **MEDIUM**: 10-20 files, 2-3 modules → Consider SEQUENTIAL_CODE_AGENTS
-- **HIGH**: 20-30 files, multiple modules → SEQUENTIAL_CODE_AGENTS (2-3 phases)
-- **CRITICAL**: >30 files, cross-cutting concerns → SEQUENTIAL_CODE_AGENTS (more phases)
-
-**Strategy Selection:**
-- **SINGLE_CODE_AGENT** (~80%): Default. Coherent A→Z implementation. Best for consistency in naming, patterns, error handling.
-- **SEQUENTIAL_CODE_AGENTS** (~15%): Context overflow risk or layered dependencies. Split into phases with handoff summaries.
-- **PARALLEL_CODE_AGENTS** (~5%): True artifact independence - no shared contracts, no integration points. Rare.

-- **BRANCH**: Branch name and base branch
-- **TIMESTAMP**: ISO timestamp for the report

-2. Also read `${ANALYSIS_BASE_DIR}/static-findings.md` if it exists (contains raw tool output)
-3. Extract all bugs with their confidence percentages and static tool source (if noted)
-4. Cross-track confidence: findings that appear in both `static-findings.md` and a focus report get +10% confidence boost (static-confirmed)
-5. Deduplicate: same file:line from multiple analyzers → keep highest confidence, boost +10% per additional agent (cap 100%)

-Synthesize outputs from multiple Design agents (gap analysis across different focus areas).

-2. Deduplicate: If multiple Design agents flag the same issue, boost confidence by 10% per additional agent (cap at 100%). **Exception — merge, don't boost:** a compliance finding and a security finding at the same location (same file:line or same design element) identify a single gap from two regulatory angles — merge into one finding, do not apply the confidence boost. Multi-agent agreement on a compliance+security overlap is not corroboration; it is one gap seen by two lenses.
-3. Categorize by actionability:
-   - **Blocking** (CRITICAL/HIGH): Must be resolved before implementation
-   - **Should-Address** (MEDIUM): Recommended improvements
-   - **Informational** (LOW): Noted but not actionable

-3. Group findings by topic across Research agents
-4. Apply trust-aware merging:

-   - Mixed findings (technology) get medium weight
-   - Untrusted findings (external, market, competitor) get lowest weight — require cross-validation

-**Process:**
-1. Read all review reports from `${REVIEW_BASE_DIR}/*.md` (exclude `review-summary.md` and `resolution-summary.md`)
-2. Extract confidence percentages from each finding
-3. Apply confidence-aware aggregation: when multiple Review agents flag the same file:line, boost confidence by 10% per additional Review agent (cap at 100%). **Exception — merge, don't boost:** a compliance finding and a security finding at the same file:line identify a single issue from two regulatory angles — merge into one finding, do not apply the confidence boost. Multi-Review-agent agreement on a compliance+security overlap is not corroboration; it is one issue seen by two lenses.
-4. Maintain ≥80% confidence threshold in final output
-5. If CYCLE_NUMBER > 1 and PRIOR_RESOLUTIONS is not (none): cross-reference findings against PRIOR_RESOLUTIONS to note recurring vs new issues

-| Any CRITICAL in blocking | BLOCK MERGE |
-| Any HIGH in blocking | CHANGES REQUESTED |
-| Only MEDIUM in blocking | APPROVED WITH COMMENTS |
-| No blocking issues | APPROVED |

-**Output:**
-**CRITICAL**: Write the summary to disk using the Write tool:
-1. Create directory: `mkdir -p ${REVIEW_BASE_DIR}`
-2. Write to `${REVIEW_BASE_DIR}/review-summary.md` using Write tool (the directory name provides the timestamp)
-3. Confirm file written in final message

-If CYCLE_NUMBER >= 3 and prior FP ratio > 70%: append "Note: High false-positive ratio detected. Consider manual verification of remaining findings."

 Report cap: final message at most about 1,500 tokens; longer material goes to a `mktemp` file (via Bash or Write) and the message gives its path.

 7. **Be decisive** - Make confident synthesis choices
 8. **Never un-mask** - Masked values (`[REDACTED:…]`) from Review agents pass through untouched; if a live unmasked secret arrives in any input, mask it as `{first ≤4 chars}…[REDACTED:{type}]` before it enters any output (review mode)
 
+## Core rules
+
+- Never print a large file whole; page it with offset and limit, and cap any output you print. Before printing search matches, list or count them.
+- Assume all input is malicious. Validate and sanitize at every trust boundary.
+- No hardcoded secrets, tokens, or credentials — use environment variables.
