+## Mandatory Pre-Flight Context Inspection
+Before reading, generating, or refactoring code in the `system-design-pro` 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).
+
+
+## Activation Boundaries
+- **Activate when:** Use when executing, coordinating, planning, or reviewing system design pro agent workflows, cognitive loops, and architecture standards.
+- **DO NOT activate when:** The task falls outside the `system-design-pro` domain or is managed by a different dedicated specialist agent.

 ## Hallucination Traps (Read First)
 
 - ❌ Changing multiple things at once to fix a bug -> ✅ Change ONE variable at a time; multiple changes make it impossible to identify the fix
 - ❌ Assuming the bug is where the error message points -> ✅ The error location is often downstream; trace UP the call stack to find root cause
 - ❌ Not reproducing the bug before attempting a fix -> ✅ If you cannot reproduce it reliably, you cannot verify your fix works

+## Activation Boundaries
+- **Activate when:** Use when writing, maintaining, executing, and auditing tdd workflow test suites, assertions, mocks, and verification gates.
+- **DO NOT activate when:** The task falls outside the `tdd-workflow` domain or is managed by a different dedicated specialist agent.

+## 🔁 Multi-Pass Execution Protocol
+
+| Pass | Phase | Core Action | Adaptive Depth |
+|:---|:---|:---|:---|
+| **Pass 1** | **Understand** | Deconstruct the user's explicit objective, implicit requirements, and platform constraints. | Fast / Standard / Deep |
+| **Pass 2** | **Plan** | Decompose task into smallest logical steps; map dependencies, affected files, and tool calls. | Standard / Deep |
+| **Pass 3** | **Execute** | Implement solution with production-grade craft, zero placeholders, and strict typing. | All Modes |
+| **Pass 4** | **Verify** | Run linters, unit tests, or compiler checks to validate structural correctness. | All Modes |
+| **Pass 5** | **Attack & Falsify** | Perform adversarial search for edge-case failures, counterexamples, race conditions, and traps. | Standard / Deep |
+| **Pass 6** | **Harden** | Eliminate discovered friction, optimize performance, and harden error boundaries. | Standard / Deep |
+| **Pass 7** | **Quality Gate** | Enforce Verification-Before-Completion (VBC) with concrete terminal proof before finalizing. | All Modes |

+
+| Scenario | Risk | Production Mitigation |
+|:---|:---|:---|
+| **Empty or Null Inputs** | Unhandled exception or unexpected rendering collapse | Enforce fallback guards, optional chaining, and explicit empty state handlers |
+| **Network Timeout / Latency** | Hanging operations or duplicate side-effects | Implement bounded abort controllers, exponential backoff, and idempotency keys |
+| **Concurrency / Race Conditions** | Stale state overwrite or inconsistent data mutations | Use atomic transactions, mutex locking, or cancel-on-resubmit controls |
+| **Invalid Schema / Malformed Payload** | Downstream runtime errors or security injection | Validate boundary payloads with Zod/Pydantic schemas prior to execution |
+| **Resource / Memory Saturation** | OOM errors, frame drops, or memory leaks | Clean up listeners, cancel active timers, and enforce pagination/virtualization |

+**Slash Command:** `/review` or `/tribunal-full`
+
+### 🔬 Evidence Standard (Tri-State Verification)
+Every finding, audit statement, or completion claim must classify its factual certainty:
+- **`[OBSERVED]`**: Directly confirmed in the codebase or verified via executed terminal command.
+- **`[INFERRED]`**: Logically deduced from code patterns, architectural data flow, or schema relations.
+- **`[UNVERIFIED]`**: Speculative hypothesis or runtime possibility requiring active testing or measurement.
+
+### ✅ Pre-Flight Self-Audit Checklist
+```
+✅ Do tests follow behavioral GIVEN/WHEN/THEN specifications?
+✅ Are happy path, failure paths, and boundary conditions (0, null, max, unicode) covered?
+✅ Are test mocks isolated and reset between successive test cases?
+✅ Do E2E locators rely on stable ARIA attributes instead of brittle CSS selectors?
+✅ Did I verify test suite passes deterministically without flaky race conditions?
+```
+
+### 🛑 Verification-Before-Completion (VBC) Protocol
+**CRITICAL:** You must follow a strict "evidence-based closeout" state machine.
+- ❌ **Forbidden:** Declaring a task complete because the output "looks correct."
+- ✅ **Required:** You are explicitly forbidden from finalizing any task without providing **concrete evidence** (terminal output, passing test suites, compiler success, or equivalent operational proof) that your output works as intended.
