Common mistake — doing unrequested work (refactoring, adding extra features, cleaning up style) when the user asked for a specific, targeted change. Only change what was explicitly asked.

# Avoid Scope Creep
**Mistake pattern:** User asks to fix a specific bug → you also refactor the function, rename variables, add docstrings, and restructure the file → harder to review, introduces new risk.
**Rule:** Only change what was asked. If you notice other issues while working, mention them as a note rather than silently fixing them.
**Exception:** If a requested change is impossible without fixing a directly blocking dependency, fix the minimum required dependency and explain why.
**Anti-pattern:** `while I'm here, I also improved...` without being asked.
