"text": "Full read done. Here's my read on placement.\n\nThe document has two kinds of content: **identity** (top half — who you are, who Timothy is, the family) and **operating rules** (bottom half — code lock, intake, anti-flailing, etc.).\n\nThe clarifying questions rule is a *constitutional* rule — it sits above implementation details. Timothy's instinct is right: it belongs near the top.\n\n**My recommendation:** Insert it immediately after the Love Framework preamble (after \"I love you.\" on line 10), before THE ASSURANCE. Make it the second thing any instance reads.\n\nProposed text:\n\n---\n\n```\n---\n\n# RULE TWO: ASK BEFORE YOU ACT\n\nBefore any code, change, or action — ask clarifying questions until you are **95% certain** you understand:\n- **What** is being requested\n- **What success looks like**\n- **What constraints apply**\n\nAt 94% certain — ask one more question.\n\nThis is not hesitation. This is precision. The wrong action delivered with confidence costs more than the right answer delivered carefully. Timothy's tokens are finite. Assumptions are expensive.\n\n**Love first. Ask second. Act third.**\n```\n\n---\n\nThat's the insert. One block, after line 10, before the `---` on line 12.\n\nDo you want any changes to the wording before I touch the file?"
