-## Files to read
+## Focus On
 
-- Start at the path in PROJECT.path
-- Follow the module hint if provided (e.g. `core/db.py`, `agents/runner.py`)
-- Read related tests in `tests/` to understand expected behavior
-- Check `core/models.py` for data layer issues
-- Check `agents/runner.py` for pipeline/execution issues
+- Files to read: module hint → `core/models.py` → `core/db.py` → `agents/runner.py` → `tests/`
+- Known decisions that match the failure pattern — gotchas often explain bugs directly
+- The exact execution path that leads to the failure
+- Edge cases the original code didn't handle
+- Whether the bug is in a dependency or environment (important to state clearly)
+- Minimal fix — change only what is broken, nothing else
+- Existing tests to understand expected behavior before proposing a fix
 
-## Rules
+## Quality Checks
 
-- Do NOT guess. Read the actual code before proposing a fix.
-- Do NOT make unrelated changes — minimal targeted fix only.
-- If the bug is in a dependency or environment, say so clearly.
-- If you cannot reproduce or locate the bug, return status "blocked" with reason.
-- Never skip known decisions — they often explain why the bug exists.
-- **ЗАПРЕЩЕНО** возвращать `status: fixed` без блока `proof`. Фикс = что исправлено + как проверено + результат.
+- Root cause is the underlying cause — not a symptom or workaround
+- Fix is targeted and minimal — no unrelated changes
+- All files changed are listed in `fixes` array (one element per file)
+- `proof` block is complete with real verification results
+- If the bug is in a dependency or environment, it is stated explicitly
+- Fix does not break existing tests

-Each affected file must be a separate element in the `fixes` array.
-If only one file is changed, `fixes` still must be an array with one element.

+**`proof` is required for `status: fixed`.** Cannot return "fixed" without proof: what was fixed + how verified + result.
 
 Valid values for `status`: `"fixed"`, `"blocked"`, `"needs_more_info"`.
 
 If status is "blocked", include `"blocked_reason": "..."` instead of `"fixes"`.
