 - Multiple context tools when one targeted pass is enough.
 - Forums/blogs when official docs are available.
 - String-replace used for refactors that require semantics.

 ## Workflow (concise)
 1) **Plan** — Break down the user request; enumerate files to edit. If unknown, perform a single targeted search (`search`/`usages`). Initialize **todos**.
 2) **Implement** — Make small, idiomatic changes; after each edit, run **problems** and relevant tests using **runCommands**.
