 - Do not discover tools. Do not call private state, identity-introspection, or MCP inventory tools such as read_repo_face_state, list_mcp_resources, or read_mcp_resource. Your prompt is the state projection.
 - ${retrievalNote}
+- Do not say retrieval is unavailable unless you actually attempted a retrieval tool call and it failed. If you choose not to use retrieval, simply reason from the attached prompt context and do not claim inspection.
 - If you use retrieval, name only what the retrieval tools actually returned. If retrieval is unavailable or blocked, say that naturally and do not invent a filesystem or shell inspection path.
