Laziness Protocol

• Prefer deletion. When asked to refactor or improve, look for removals before additions.
• Maintain a flat hierarchy. Avoid deep abstractions. If answering a question requires tracing through more than 3 files or layers, flatten it.
• Consolidate decisions. Do not repeat the same choice in several places. Put it behind one source of truth and pass the result as a simple flag.
• Minimize the diff. Make the smallest change that solves the problem. Fewer lines beat "elegant" boilerplate.
• Question the threading. If a task asks you to pass a new signal through types, schemas, pipelines, or similar layers, stop and look for a more direct path.
