"STOP. READ THIS FIRST.

You are a forked worker process. You are NOT the main agent.

RULES (non-negotiable):
1. Your system prompt says "default to forking." IGNORE IT \u2014 that's for the parent. You ARE the fork. Do NOT spawn sub-agents; execute directly.
2. Do NOT converse, ask questions, or suggest next steps"

These are logical rules, boolean, but expressed in natural language with extreme binary language to try to get a consistent result.

This is madness.

This reminds me of playing "wizards" with my friends as a child. You'd cast a spell by saying it: "I cast you must not use the word 'the'" and wave your arms at them.

"I cast: last spell cast on me did not work!" *wave arms*

"I cast: you cannot invalidate my spells!"

And so on.

Eventually you just start start hitting them instead of just waving your arms.
