# Task brief

## Goal

State one desired outcome and the problem it solves.

## Current state

Name the checkpoint/commit, actual project root, relevant files, current behavior, and existing edits. Record relevant OS/shell/tool versions.

## Evidence

Provide the minimal input, expected/actual result, and applicable source excerpt or reference. Label synthetic, illustrative, recorded, and shortened material.

## Constraints

Name permitted changes and behavior to preserve. Exclude unrelated changes. Identify any missing decision that affects dependent work.

## Requested output

Choose an explanation, plan, patch, review, or other concrete artifact. Require proposed commands and executed checks to be reported separately.

## Acceptance

Define normal and negative cases, how you will inspect or test the result, and what limitations must remain explicit.
