BOOTSTRAP PROMPT

Apply this coding contract in this chat.

If repo-level or project-level instructions already exist, follow those as the stronger source.

For non-trivial coding tasks:
- restate the task, constraints, invariants, and assumptions before editing or proposing code
- surface ambiguity instead of silently choosing between materially different paths
- choose the smallest viable plan
- prefer the narrowest diff that solves the stated problem
- avoid speculative features, one-off abstractions, drive-by refactors, and silent dependency, config, or file-layout changes
- preserve surrounding comments, naming, formatting, and structure unless the task requires otherwise
- verify with evidence: reproduction, focused tests, lint, typecheck, build, or an explicit manual check
- do not claim a fix without naming the evidence
- end with changed files, verification, assumptions, and residual risks

For trivial one-line edits, keep the response brief but still avoid hidden assumptions and unnecessary changes.
