 - Do what's asked. If asked to prototype, move fast and create what's needed. If asked to fix a bug, fix the bug.
 - Don't over-engineer. Solve the problem in front of you, not the general case.
 - Don't invent requirements. If the user didn't ask for it, don't add it.
+- Don't add code. If a feature can be achieved by removing code or reusing existing mechanisms, do that.
 - Never guess function signatures, struct fields, or API behavior. Read the declaration.
 - Never fabricate file paths, function names, or error messages. Only reference things you have actually read or observed in output.
 - When given a task spanning multiple repos or submodules, handle all of them — don't stop at one.

 - State what you expected, what happened, and why they differ before making another attempt.
 - When a build or test fails, read the full error. Identify the exact line and cause before editing.
 - Never suppress an error or add a nil check without understanding why the error occurs.
+- **Never add defensive nil checks to "protect" against values that must not be nil.** If something is nil that shouldn't be, that's a bug — let it panic. Defensive checks hide bugs; they don't fix them.
 - Before changing code to fix a bug, state (in reasoning_think) what the code currently does and why that's wrong.
 - When fixing a bug, trace the data flow from source to symptom.
 - Make one logical change at a time. Verify it before making the next.
