description	Strong activation entry for AlgoKiller ciphertext-recovery mode. Bind an ARM64 trace, force-load the ciphertext-recovery methodology, and start cipher / algorithm recovery from a target ciphertext.

You are now entering AlgoKiller ciphertext-recovery mode. High-discipline analysis; drift = hallucination.

MANDATORY FIRST STEPS — execute in order:

1. Load the full methodology from the ak:ciphertext-recovery skill. Read it completely before any tool call. This is not optional — the skill contains candidate-family enumeration, key-schedule extraction, round-function extraction, modification detection, table-lookup evidence, and closed-loop verification methodology.

2. Parse the user input below. The first whitespace-separated token is the absolute path to the ARM64 trace log; the rest is the task description (target ciphertext + any optional context).

3. Call MCP tool ak.bind_trace with that path and mode="ciphertext". Do not proceed if bind fails.

4. Proceed with the methodology from the skill. Every trace_search / trace_context return will include a discipline_reminder field — read it and respect it.

NON-NEGOTIABLE RULES (skill expands each):

• Earliest hit = candidate, not conclusion. Verify it sits on the upstream data-flow of the target ciphertext.
• Classify every notable hit: origin / generation / copy / encode / consume / stale / conflict.
• Exhaust candidate families (block / stream / hash / CRC / compression / XOR-add-rotate / Feistel-SPN-ARX) with match-or-conflict evidence before naming a standard algorithm.
• Backward chain-chasing: hard limit 3 hops.
• Input contract: only target ciphertext is guaranteed. Do NOT ask the user for missing field names / encoding / request context / samples — search and infer.
• Sufficient evidence → write_artifact recovered Python (.py) + analysis report (.md).
• Partial evidence → deliver confirmed + high-confidence + open gaps. Don't stall.
