-grounded:
+grounded. Pull the named inputs from the conversation history first; the user's
+original message almost always carries the goal, and constraints usually emerge
+during discussion. Only ask one focused question when something critical is
+genuinely missing.
+
+Named inputs to assemble:
+
+- **GOAL**: the original objective. What was the user trying to achieve?
+- **CONSTRAINTS**: rules, requirements, and limits — stack restrictions, API
+  contracts, performance targets, design patterns to follow, ask-before-push
+  and publish boundaries, and backward-compatibility needs.
+- **BACKGROUND**: why this work was needed, including related systems and prior
+  decisions that shaped the approach.
+- **CHANGED_FILES**: the modified file list, auto-collected from git.
+- **DIFF**: the actual diff, auto-collected from git.
+- **FILE_CONTENTS**: full content of each changed file, plus neighboring files
+  that show the existing pattern, for any lane that cannot read files itself.
+- **RUN_COMMAND**: how to start or exercise the surface, detected from
+  `package.json` scripts, a `Makefile`, or a compose file, or asked when absent.
+
+Auto-collection sequence:
+
+```bash
+# 1. Changed files
+git diff --name-only HEAD~1   # or: git diff --name-only main...HEAD
+
+# 2. Diff
+git diff HEAD~1               # or: git diff main...HEAD

+# 3. Detect run command
+# package.json -> scripts.dev / scripts.start / scripts.test
+# Makefile -> default target

+
+### Gate A — Plan reread and PIN

+file scope, the non-goals, and the stale facts that must be refreshed before
+editing. Name which acceptance rows this checkbox advances.
+
+### Gate B — Failing test first (RED)
+
+Write or update the automated test before any production change.
+
+- When the checkbox changes existing behavior, first write a **baseline
+  characterization test** that pins the current observable behavior with exact
+  inputs, exact observable, and exact assertion, and confirm it passes on the
+  unchanged code. Only then write the failing-first test for the new behavior.
+- Capture RED: the exact assertion message that proves the test fails for the
+  right reason — not a syntax error, missing import, or a crash before the
+  assertion. No production code is written until RED is recorded.
+
+### Gate C — Smallest green change (GREEN) and LSP
+
+Write the minimum change that flips RED to GREEN and capture GREEN with the
+targeted test. Run broader verification requested by the plan. Then run LSP
+diagnostics on every modified file: zero errors are allowed before proceeding.
+Warnings that predate the run are acceptable; new warnings must be resolved.

+
+- Malformed input (truncated payload, wrong type, empty body, oversized field).
+- Prompt injection or other boundary-crossing untrusted text.
+- Cancel/resume: interrupt mid-task, restart, verify state stays consistent.
+- Stale state: run against an artifact left by a prior incomplete run.
+- Dirty worktree: confirm correct behavior with uncommitted sibling changes
+  present.
+- Hung commands: hit a temporarily unavailable dependency; verify the timeout
+  and error surface.
+- Flaky tests: run the targeted test three times; flag any non-deterministic
+  result.
+- Misleading success output: confirm the happy path does not mask a silent
+  failure (exit 0 with error text in stdout).
