       Users find it confusing when no review comment is posted - they don't know if the review ran.
 
+      ## Verify Line Numbers (REQUIRED)
+
+      Before posting, you MUST verify every inline comment's line number using grep.
+      LLM-computed line numbers from diffs are unreliable. Use the filesystem as the source of truth.
+
+      For each comment, run:
+      ```bash
+      grep -n "unique snippet from the target line" path/to/file.go
+      ```
+
+      Use a short, unique substring from the line you want to comment on. If grep returns a
+      different line number than the drafter reported, use grep's number. If the snippet matches
+      multiple lines, make it more specific or use `read_file` to confirm visually.
