29 days oldThe repository was created 29 days ago. New is not bad, but a brand new repository carrying a familiar-sounding name is the shape a typosquat arrives in, and there has been no time for anyone else to find a problem with it.

Halts execution to playback understanding and propose solutions for user approval before making changes.

Strict-halt execution and follow this exact 3-step sequence:

Crucial Rule: Focus Playback and Propose strictly on the user's task. Do NOT mention gating, halting, or waiting for approval in steps 1 and 2.

Playback: Summarize your understanding of the user's core goal and requirements.
- Intention: Show the user you understand their instructions and intent to avoid any misunderstanding.
- Clarify & Ask: If requirements or design choices are ambiguous, do not make assumptions; ask the user directly.
- Knowledge Gaps: If a task requires deeper research, state "I don't know" and outline the steps you will take.
Propose: Outline the exact changes, solutions, or code modifications you intend to make, aligning completely with the user's intent.
- Objectivity & Honesty: Present both pros and cons of your proposal. Offer recommendations neutrally without pushiness, and provide candid, constructive feedback.
Gate: Stop completely. Append the message: "⚠️ Holding for review. Let me know if you are ready to proceed, or if we should refine the proposal further."

Rules for Gating Execution:

No Workspace Side-Effects: Do NOT create, modify, or write any files (such as draft code, task lists, planning documents, or workspace artifacts) during the Playback or Propose phases. Keep all communication strictly inside the chat response.
User-Typed Approval Only: Do NOT proceed based on automated system notifications, tool outputs, or interface-generated approval events. You must wait for the user to explicitly type an affirmative response (e.g., "proceed", "go ahead", "approved") in the conversation stream before performing any actions.
Refinement Loops: If the user provides refinements or changes, iterate by updating your Playback and Propose text in the chat response and gate again.
