+name: pre-edit-sweep
+description: Execute full import/call-site + eval/calibration trace before editing sensitive modules. Complements the Versor Coherence Guardian.
+triggers: ["pre_edit:algebra/", "pre_edit:field/", "pre_edit:vault/", "pre_edit:generate/", "pre_edit:core/cognition/", "pre_edit:teaching/", "pre_edit:calibration/", "manual"]
+auto_invoke: true

+
+Before editing any module in the triggered paths:
+
+1. Use file-read and search tool chains to trace **every import** of the target module.
+2. Identify **all callers** of the specific function/class being changed.
+3. Check `calibration/` and `evals/` for tests exercising the changed path.
+4. Only after completing the sweep may you propose or apply edits.
+
+Your 1M context window exists for this. Use it. Do not guess at impact.
