+2. **Runtime Context & Platform Invariants**: Confirm target platform constraints (Node.js, Browser, Mobile OS, Edge runtime) before applying APIs.
+3. **Execution Guardrails**: Identify potential side-effects, state mutations, and unhandled asynchronous exceptions.
+4. **Validation & Type Contracts**: Validate input data schemas and strict type constraints across all module interfaces.
+5. **Observability & Proof of Execution**: Ensure execution produces tangible verification signals (terminal output, tests, metrics).

 ```
-✅ Did I rely ONLY on real, verified tools and methods?
-✅ Is this solution appropriately scoped to the user's constraints?
-✅ Did I handle potential failure modes and edge cases?
-✅ Have I avoided generic boilerplate that doesn't add value?
+✅ Does animation maintain 60fps/120fps using transform and opacity?
+✅ Is optical mass conserved across state interpolations without volume collapse?
+✅ Is duration capped within micro-interaction budgets (160ms–280ms)?
+✅ Is prefers-reduced-motion respected with graceful instant fallbacks?
+✅ Did I prevent layout thrashing and continuous geometry mutations?
