+| CLAUDE.md always-on refinement — security floor (no credentials/auth URLs), scope discipline (no over-engineering), tool preference (Read/Edit over Bash); **plus instruction quality**: current rules are thin one-liners observed in practice to lose to RLHF-trained defaults (verbose responses, validating user positions); fix is specificity, counter-examples, and boundary framing — not accepting violations as expected.

 ## Housekeeping reminders
 
 - **`.gitkeep` files** — placeholder files exist in `core/agents/`, `core/workflows/`, `core/prompts/`, `docs/ard/`, `docs/bug/`, `docs/notes/`. Remove each when the first real file is added to that directory. Each `.gitkeep` names the chunk that will populate it.
+- **Chunk 2 behavioral tests** — 8 manual scenarios in `tests/test-chunk2.sh` (MANUAL TEST PLAN section) are pending verification. Must run in a fresh Claude session before Chunk 2 is fully verified. See instruction quality finding in `CONTEXT.md` for why these cannot be skipped.
