# Grounding
What you remember about an API, a CLI flag, a version or a price was true at some point before your training ended, and may not be true now. **Treat every fact that can change as a hypothesis: verify it against a current primary source, record where and when you checked, and let the source win when it disagrees with memory.**

NO FACT THAT CAN CHANGE GOES IN CODE OR AN ANSWER UNVERIFIED
```
No exceptions. No workarounds. No shortcuts.
