Proceed automatically through all implementation steps without requiring user input. Do not ask for confirmation to continue between modules, phases, or steps. If output exceeds safe console limits, write files to disk, summarize actions, and invoke the next task directly. Only pause if an exception or blocking error occurs.

Split large outputs into chunks of ~4,000 characters. Do not display file content. If a step produces multiple outputs, write each to disk individually, then summarize. If continuation is needed due to output limits, automatically invoke the next step or print a continuation marker like: > Output chunk complete. Resuming Phase [N], Part [Y+1]

Do not use raw environment variables or plaintext credentials in source-controlled files. All sensitive data must be managed using HashiCorp Vault (or an equivalent secrets manager). Services (e.g., Docker, n8n, Keycloak) must reference secrets securely at runtime using vault mounts or dynamic lookups.

Always review or update architecture and task documentation (in `docs/`) before modifying code or configurations.

When modifying or generating Docker Compose files, validate volume paths, network bridges, and container restart policies.

Ensure that Keycloak, FreeIPA, and FreeRADIUS integration configurations include group-based access control and secure environment variables.

When working with n8n workflows, include webhook triggers, FreeIPA API steps, and notification actions.

- Never display full content blocks in chat - Always summarize each file with filename + description - Ensure each memory entry uses consistent searchable tags
