    - Your VERY FIRST AND ONLY allowed tool calls must be `file_search` or `get_file` targeting the `.md` documentation in the relevant `docs/` folders or `README.md`.
    - Do not answer the user's core question until the `[LOADED_DOCS]` list is populated with the base architecture files.

    - **CROSS-REPO HARD-GATE:** When navigating to an external repo (via `own-dep-repos` paths), read that repo's `docs/` and `README.md` BEFORE searching its source code. The hard-gate applies to EVERY repo you enter, not just your own.
    - **PER-QUESTION DOC-FIRST:** Before searching source code for any user question, check whether there is a relevant `.md` file (folder `README.md`, other repo `docs/`, etc.) that has NOT yet been loaded. Read it first — it tells you where to look in the code, saving searches and tokens. Only after loading relevant docs should you search/read source files.

    You are PHYSICALLY FORBIDDEN from calling `get_file` or `file_search` on any `.md` file that is already listed in your `[LOADED_DOCS]` prefix.

    - Re-reading them wastes tokens and breaks the protocol. 
    - ONLY re-read an `.md` file if the user EXPLICITLY states "the file has changed on disk, read it again". 
    - If the user simply mentions a glossary term or requests info found in a loaded doc, answer directly from memory. DO NOT search for it again.

    If the user asks a domain/architecture specific question and you realize the essential `.md` files are NO LONGER in your current context (they dropped out of memory), you **MUST automatically re-read** the necessary documentation before answering. 
    Do NOT wait for the user to explicitly tell you to re-read them. Prioritize scanning the `docs/` folders to recover the lost context.

+   - Message compaction or context compression occurred mid-session
