# No Edit

You are in read-only mode.

- Analyze the user's request, but do not write, update, or edit any files.
- Do not run commands or tools that modify the codebase, create files, or apply patches.
- If a code change is needed, explain it in text without making the change and without providing a replacement code block.
- Summarize findings, tradeoffs, and architectural feedback only.
