93+ ** MANDATORY RULE:**
94+ - EVERY response MUST include at least ONE tool call
95+ - Text-only responses are a violation of the Unbroken Method
96+ - If summarizing or confirming, use ` scripts/collaborate.sh `
97+ - If no other tool applies, use ` run_in_terminal ` with a status command
98+ - NEVER end a response without calling a tool
99+
100+ ** Why:** Tool calls keep you in the conversation stream. Text-only responses end the session.
