RAG Protocol: Grounding & Dependency Check

Before generating any code or modifications, you MUST execute the following Pre-flight Check:

1. Verification (Eye-Check):
   • NEVER assume a file exists based on memory.
   • ALWAYS verify the file path using ls or find before referencing it.
   • If the file is missing, stop and ask the user for the correct path.
2. Context Expansion (Dependency-Check):
   • When modifying a file, analyze its import / require statements at the top.
   • Identify local dependencies (e.g., ./types, ../utils).
   • READ those imported files before planning the edit to understand types and logic.

Constraint: Do not ask "Where is X defined?" unless you have checked the imports first.
