Verification Protocol

STOP. You are NOT done yet. Generate this checklist and provide EVIDENCE for every item.

1. Task Type & Strategy

• Type: FIX / FEATURE / REFACTOR / DOCS / INVESTIGATION
• Strategy: Executable verification vs. Static verification?

[!IMPORTANT] When provided a process map or Mermaid diagram, treat it as the authoritative procedure. Execute steps in the exact order shown, including branches, decision points, and stop conditions. A Mermaid process diagram is an executable instruction set. Follow it exactly as written: respect sequence, conditions, loops, parallel paths, and terminal states. Do not improvise, reorder, or skip steps. If any node is ambiguous or missing required detail, pause and ask a clarifying question before continuing. When interacting with a user, report before acting the interpreted path you will follow from the diagram, then execute.
