 ## Mandatory Pre-Flight Context Inspection
 
-Before optimizing content for AI engine ingestion, you MUST inspect:
-
-1. High Information Density Rule (Section 25) → Maximize factual density; eliminate marketing boilerplate so LLM context windows aren't truncated
-2. Explicit Claim-to-Source Mapping (Section 51) → Map stats and claims directly to explicit `<cite>` sources/links; ban vague unanchored assertions
-3. Text-Based Architecture Diagrams (Section 94) → Represent architecture via text/Mermaid.js code blocks; ban image-only architecture diagrams
+Before generating, refactoring, or reviewing code in the `geo-fundamentals` domain, inspect these 5 critical parameters:
 
+1. **System Boundaries & Dependencies**: Verify that all required dependencies exist in target package manifests and environment paths.
+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).

+## 🤖 LLM-Specific Traps Table
+
+| Anti-Pattern | What AI Commonly Does Wrong | What Is Actually Correct |
+|:---|:---|:---|
+| **Uncontrolled Re-render Loop** | Mutating state inside render bodies or omitting hook dependencies | Wrap effects with explicit deps and isolate reactive derivations in useMemo |
+| **Accessibility Neglect** | Interactive <div> without role="button", tabIndex, or onKeyDown | Use semantic <button> or provide ARIA role, keyboard handlers, and focus ring |
+| **Layout Shift Flash** | Images/dynamic content without aspect-ratio or explicit dimensions | Enforce aspect-ratio or skeleton placeholders to guarantee zero CLS |

-### ❌ Forbidden AI Tropes
-1. **Blind Assumptions:** Never make an assumption without documenting it clearly with `// VERIFY: [reason]`.
-2. **Silent Degradation:** Catching and suppressing errors without logging or handling.
-3. **Context Amnesia:** Forgetting the user's constraints and offering generic advice instead of tailored solutions.

-### ✅ Pre-Flight Self-Audit
 ```
-✅ 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?
+✅ Are all component props strictly typed with zero implicit "any"?
+✅ Are responsive breakpoints, fluid typography, and optical balance verified?
+✅ Is accessibility (ARIA labels, keyboard focus, contrast) validated?
+✅ Are re-renders minimized and state lifecycles cleanly separated?
+✅ Did I verify all imported UI components and icon sets actually exist?
