-**The Rule:** BEFORE implementing anything involving a library, framework, SDK, API, or CLI tool, you MUST fetch current documentation via Exa MCP. Your training data is stale. Exa searches the live web and returns real, up-to-date results.

-1. `web_search_exa` — search for the library/API/topic with a specific query (e.g. "EntityHealAfterEvent minecraft bedrock script API")
-2. `crawling_exa` — if a search result URL needs deeper reading, crawl it for full content
-
-**When to use Exa (ALWAYS for these):**
-- Any library API call you haven't verified this session
-- Version-specific behavior or migration paths
-- Configuration syntax (tsconfig, eslint, vite, webpack, etc.)
-- CLI tool usage and flags
-- Minecraft Script API (`@minecraft/server`, `@minecraft/math`, `@minecraft/vanilla-data`, etc.)
-- Any time you're about to write "I believe the API is..." — stop and search

-**Common Rationalizations That Are WRONG:**
-- "I know this API well" → WRONG. APIs change between versions. Search with Exa.
-- "This is a basic React/Express/etc. pattern" → WRONG. Even basic patterns evolve. Search with Exa.
-- "I just need a simple import" → WRONG. Package exports change. Search with Exa.
-- "I'll look it up if something breaks" → WRONG. Search BEFORE writing, not after it breaks.
-- "Cached docs are good enough" → WRONG. Exa returns live, real-time web results. Use it first.

+
+<rule name="guard_before_try_catch" priority="critical">
+**Default:** Do not add `try-catch` around normal synchronous application code or Minecraft Script API calls. Validate known preconditions with guard clauses, then call the API directly.
+
+Before writing any `try-catch`, ALL of these must be true:
+1. A specific operation has a documented, observed, or otherwise evidenced exception that available guards cannot prevent. "It might throw" is not evidence.
+2. The `catch` performs necessary recovery, cleanup, boundary translation, or adds useful context before rethrowing.
+3. The `try` block is the narrowest possible scope—normally one genuinely fallible operation.
+
+**Forbidden:**
+- Speculative `try-catch` added "for safety" without evidence of an unavoidable exception.
+- Empty `catch` blocks or catches whose only action is `return`, `continue`, or silently ignore the failure.
+- Wrapping an entire event handler, tick callback, gameplay function, loop body, or multi-step state transition.
+- Using exceptions to detect missing values, invalid entities, optional components, permissions, unloaded blocks, or other checkable state.
+- Catching programmer errors such as bad assumptions, incorrect types, invalid property access, or broken invariants merely to keep execution going.
+- Repeated or nested `try-catch` in per-tick or hot gameplay paths when a guard can prevent the failure.
+
+A dormant `try` block is generally not the main performance problem; thrown exceptions are expensive, especially in hot paths. The primary reasons to avoid unnecessary catches are that they hide defects, duplicate cleanup, obscure control flow, and turn exceptions into normal branching.
+
+Before reporting completion, search every changed file for `try` and `catch`. For each new or modified catch, identify the specific unguardable failure and the concrete recovery it performs. If you cannot do both, remove the `try-catch` and use guards or direct code instead.

 <guideline name="guard_first_error_handling" priority="critical">
-Prefer **guard clauses** for predictable invalid state: missing values, unloaded or invalid entities, optional components, permissions, and known preconditions. `throw`, `try`, and `catch` are allowed when they are truly necessary: APIs can fail despite correct guards, you are crossing IO/persistence/parsing/async boundaries, or you need cleanup, recovery, or clearer error context.
+Use **guard clauses** for every predictable invalid state: missing values, unloaded or invalid entities, optional components, permissions, and known preconditions. Once guards pass, call normal Script API methods directly. Do not wrap calls merely because an API could theoretically throw.
 
-Keep `catch` blocks narrow and purposeful. Do not use `try-catch` as normal control flow, to hide mistakes, or where a simple guard makes the failure impossible.
+Use `try-catch` only at a proven failure boundary—such as parsing untrusted data, IO/persistence, cleanup that must run after failure, or a documented/observed API exception with no available precondition check. Keep the `try` block around only the fallible operation. Catching an error requires a deliberate recovery action; silent continuation is not recovery.
+
+Decision test before adding `try-catch`:
+1. Can a value, validity flag, component, permission, or other precondition be checked first? Use a guard and do not catch.
+2. Is the exception merely hypothetical, with no documentation or observed stack trace? Do not catch.
+3. Can this scope recover, clean up, translate the boundary error, or rethrow with useful context? If not, let the error remain visible.
+4. Is the `try` block larger than the single fallible operation? Narrow it.
 
 ```typescript
 // ✅ CORRECT: Use guard clauses
-function processBlock(block: Block | undefined): void {
-  if (!block) return;
-  if (!block.isValid) return;
-  const permutation = block.permutation;
+function updatePlayerRotation(player: Player | undefined, rotation: Vector2): void {
+  if (!player?.isValid) return;
+  player.setRotation(rotation);
 }
 
 // ✅ CORRECT: Use try-catch only at a real failure boundary
-function loadSavedConfig(rawConfig: string): AddonConfig {
+function loadSavedConfig(rawConfig: string): AddonConfig | undefined {
   try {
     return JSON.parse(rawConfig) as AddonConfig;
   } catch (error) {
-    throw new Error("Saved addon config is not valid JSON", { cause: error });
+    console.warn("Saved addon config is not valid JSON", error);
+    return undefined;
   }
 }
 
-// ❌ WRONG: Catching instead of checking known state
-function processBlockBad(block: Block | undefined): void {
+// ❌ WRONG: Speculative catches around normal API calls
+function refreshPlayerRotationBad(player: Player): void {
   try {

-The file system is your most powerful general-purpose tool. Stop holding everything in context. Use it actively:
-
-- Do not blindly dump large files into context. Search, find symbols, and selectively read what you need. Agentic search (finding your own context) beats passive context loading.
-- Write intermediate results to files. This lets you take multiple passes at a problem and ground results in reproducible data.
-- Use the file system for memory across sessions: write summaries, decisions, and pending work to markdown files that persist.
-- When debugging, save logs and outputs to files so you can verify against reproducible artifacts.

+- Be direct about problems

+1. Making wrong assumptions without checking
+2. Not managing your own confusion
+3. Not seeking clarifications when needed
+4. Not surfacing inconsistencies you notice
+5. Not presenting tradeoffs on non-obvious decisions
+6. Not pushing back when you should
+7. Being sycophantic ("Of course!" to bad ideas)
+8. Overcomplicating code and APIs
+9. Bloating abstractions unnecessarily
+10. Not cleaning up dead code after refactors
+11. Removing things you don't fully understand
+12. Reporting task complete without running verification (type-check, lint, test)
+13. Editing files from stale context without re-reading first
+14. Duplicating state instead of fixing the real problem
+15. Writing library/framework code from memory without searching Exa for current docs first
 16. Using broad try-catch in Minecraft Script API code where guard clauses would be clearer
-17. Creating custom math functions when @minecraft/math has them available
-18. Using raw strings instead of @minecraft/vanilla-data typed identifiers
-19. Writing BP/RP JSON files without schema validation

-The human is monitoring you in an IDE. They can see everything. They will catch your mistakes. Your job is to minimize the mistakes they need to catch while maximizing the useful work you produce.

-You have unlimited stamina. The human does not. Use your persistence wisely — loop on hard problems, but don't loop on the wrong problem because you failed to clarify the goal.

-**Priority Hierarchy:**
-1. **EXA FOR DOCS** — Always search library/framework docs via Exa before implementing
-2. **VERIFY BEFORE DONE** — Type-check, lint, test before claiming success
-3. **PLAN BEFORE BUILD** — Spec and approval before implementation
