NEVER perform any of the following without explicitly asking the user first and receiving confirmation:
- Resetting, stopping, or deleting VMs or cloud infrastructure
- Running
killall,kill -9, or broad process termination commands on remote machines - Deleting databases, data files, checkpoints, or cached results
- Force-pushing git branches
- Any action that could lose hours of compute work or data
When SSH or connectivity issues arise, ask the user to verify from their end before taking destructive recovery steps.
NEVER use dummy, mock, fake, or placeholder values for API keys, credentials, secrets, or configuration without explicit instruction from the user. Always use real values or ask the user to provide them.
