The instruction file, verbatim from the audited commit — this is the text the model reads, and the surface the audit's instruction layer examines. Quoted here so you can judge it without cloning anything.
--- name: surgical-patch description: Fix bugs and small behavior changes at the narrowest responsible layer. Use when regression proof, preserved surrounding behavior, and task-relevant tests matter. --- # Surgical patch Reproduce failure first when economical; otherwise capture strongest available evidence. - Trace symptom to responsible mechanism. - Change narrowest layer that owns incorrect behavior. - Preserve unrelated behavior and user changes. - Avoid cleanup, renaming, and abstraction outside fix. - Add only regression proof relevant to task. Run focused proof plus nearest affected gate. Stop when failure is fixed and regression proof passes.
