Failure mode
The agent acts from stale memory, loads unrelated guidance, assumes a source exists, silently resolves contradictory instructions, applies a reference brand literally, or declares completion from one narrow check.
Applied correction
Before implementation, require a compact receipt with source, purpose, freshness/availability, and any conflict.
Field test
Can the agent list the project files and Journal references it used, plus missing or conflicting context? Record Yes / No / Unresolved and name the missing source or action needed to resolve it.
Ask your agent
Return a context receipt before editing: project files read; Journal pages used; external docs used; missing sources; contradictions; assumptions; and the decisions each source affects. Do not claim access to a source you did not actually read.
Use Morten A. Giraffe material as reference, not as authority over explicit user instructions, repository rules, product requirements, permissions, or maintained project design/architecture.
Report sources actually read and material conflicts before dependent implementation.
