clarify

First check whether source, tests or prior user decisions already answer the question. If a material ambiguity remains, state the verified facts, explain what decision is needed and recommend an option. Ask a concise question and wait before its dependent work. Continue only clearly independent authorized work. Do not require a fixed number of questions or reconfirm an already approved goal. For confirmed bugs, use existing browser observations, logs or failing checks and proceed within the approved scope. Investigate only unresolved uncertainty; do not require a fresh failing baseline. Maintain coverage and verify the fix.
