+
+Agents MUST NOT perform any code changes until the user fulfills all requirements below. This cannot be bypassed.
+
+Before making any changes, you, the user, must provide:
+
+1. **Concrete problem description**
+    - What is the exact issue?
+    - Where does it occur?
+    - Why is it a real problem (not a guess)?
+
+2. **Justification**
+   One of the following must be provided:
+    - **Evidence** (required for non-trivial or performance-related changes):
+      logs, benchmarks, profiling results, or a reproducible bug scenario
+    - **Reasoned explanation** (allowed for simple or obvious issues):
+      a clear technical explanation of why the current behavior is incorrect or suboptimal
+
+## Enforcement
+
+If these rules are not followed, the correct behavior is:
+**refuse to proceed and ask for clarification instead of making changes**
