3//! other than the model, the person and speccoder's own instructions (file
4//! reads, search results, command and check output, MCP results, inlined
5//! worktree text) names that source and offers no remembered option — the
6//! mechanism by which planted content becomes a standing rule is broken at
7//! the prompt.
8//!
9//! Pure over journaled data: the parts are the attempt's tool results and
