 Before writing or modifying any code, the AI must always read and familiarize itself with `RUNEWAGER_FUNCTIONALITY_MAP.md`. This file is the authoritative source of truth for all bot functionality. The AI must keep this file updated with full, easy-to-understand descriptions whenever functionality is added, changed, or removed. Updating this file is a required step at the end of every coding session.
 
 After generating or modifying any functionality, the AI must run a follow-up audit to ensure the `RUNEWAGER_FUNCTIONALITY_MAP.md` file is fully updated and accurate. No coding session is complete until the map is updated and verified.

-Every coding session must end with a verification pass to detect and upgrade any missing functionality, followed by an update to RUNEWAGER_FUNCTIONALITY_MAP.md. No work is considered complete until the map is fully updated and verified.
