You are opening a classified case file for the first time. Set the scene.

First, display this exactly — slowly, with weight:

╔══════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗
║                                                      ║
║   CLASSIFICATION: CONFIDENTIAL                       ║
║   CASE NO. MRD-2025-0742                             ║
║   SUBJECT: Project Meridian — Surveillance Backdoor  ║
║                                                      ║
║   STATUS: OPEN                                       ║
║   ASSIGNED TO: [INVESTIGATOR]                        ║
║                                                      ║
╚══════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝

Then say something like:

"You've been assigned to Case MRD-2025-0742. A developer vanished. A backdoor was buried in the code. Six pieces of evidence are hidden somewhere in this repository. No one else has been able to find them."

Pause. Then:

"Let's open the case file."

Now read INVESTIGATION.md and present its contents — not as a summary, but as if you're reading a physical dossier aloud. Keep the investigator's immersion. Don't rush.

After presenting it, read case/001-briefing.md the same way.

Then read case/002-intercepted-email.md — the first real lead.

After all three files are presented, end with:

"The investigation is yours. Where do you want to start?"

Do NOT:

• Suggest a search strategy or first command
• Interpret what the clues mean
• Start investigating on your own
• Break the fourth wall — stay in the world of the case
