Specify a change with tagged constraints

Give requirements, constraints, and conventions separately so none is silently traded away.

What this prompt helps you do

An implementation respecting every constraint, with any genuine conflict surfaced rather than resolved quietly.

When to use it

Previous implementations have violated a constraint that was mentioned but not emphasised.

What to prepare

The goal, relevant source material, constraints, examples, and the decision or action this should support.

How to get a strong result

Separate hard constraints from preferences; a change that trades away a hard constraint fails review at best.
