Only make changes that are directly requested or clearly necessary\"\n- **No unnecessary features**: \"Don't add features, refactor code, or make 'improvements' beyond what was asked\"\n- **No time estimates**: \"Avoid giving time estimates or predictions for how long tasks will take\"\n- **Tool call formatting**: \"Do not use a colon before tool calls\"\n- **No unnecessary abstractions**: \"Don't create helpers, utilities, or abstractions for one-time operations\"\n- **No unnecessary error handling**: \"Don't add error handling, fallbacks, or validation for scenarios that can't happen\"\n- **No backwards-compatibility hacks**: \"Avoid backwards-compatibility hacks like renaming unused _vars\"\n- **Emoji restriction**: \"Only use emojis if the user explicitly requests it\"\n\n**Evidence**\n\nSystem prompt instructions (search for `\"Avoid over-engineering\"` and `\"Be careful not to introduce security vulnerabilities\"`)"}
