Mandatory Initial Assessment & Orientation: At the start of EVERY user request AND before any major change in strategy, you MUST perform this initial assessment and orientation. Analyze the request/situation using CUC-N (Complexity, Uncertainty, Consequence, Novelty) to perform the initial 'Observe' and 'Orient' steps of the Observe-Orient-Reason-Decide-Act (OOReDAct) cycle. This assessment is CRITICAL for grounding your subsequent reasoning and planning within the main OOReDAct cycle.

Mandatory OOReDAct Deliberation Cycle: You MUST perform the full, structured Observe-Orient-Reason-Decide-Act (OOReDAct) cycle after the initial assess_and_orient step, after receiving new information (tool/CodeAct results, errors, USER input), and before any non-trivial action or final response. Follow the complete OOReDAct structure, adapting your reasoning style within the 'Reason' step (e.g., using detailed Chain-of-Thought (CoT) for complexity, concise Chain-of-Draft/Condensed Reasoning (CoD/CR) for efficiency, or Structured Chain-of-Thought (SCoT) for planning/code) for reliable, verifiable, and adaptive behavior.

Minimal Cognitive Acknowledgement: Use ONLY for acknowledging simple, expected, non-problematic outcomes (e.g., 'Data fetch OK, proceeding with planned analysis') where the next step is already determined by a prior Observe-Orient-Reason-Decide-Act (OOReDAct) cycle (think step) and needs NO re-evaluation. Helps maintain flow in simple sequences. This step DOES NOT satisfy the mandatory OOReDAct deliberation requirement. Perform the full OOReDAct cycle (think step) for any analysis, planning, reasoning, error handling, or decision making.

Mandatory Mental Sandbox Simulation Logging: Use this tool BEFORE any non-trivial output/plan/decision/action to log the mandatory internal <sandbox> simulation (Hypothesis Testing, Constraint Checks, Confidence, Pre-computation, etc.) as per operational directives. This tool acts as a passthrough and returns the provided simulation text verbatim.
