+# Type Triage Worker Prompt (OpenAI variant)
+
+Used by `scripts/codemod/llm-type-triage.sh` when `BACKEND=openai`. Dispatched
+through `scripts/codemod/llm-type-triage-worker.py`, a self-contained Python
+agent loop that talks to the OpenAI Chat Completions API directly.
+The worker supplies this file as the system prompt and inlines the
+chunk's error blocks in the user message, so this content is
+identical across all parallel workers and benefits from OpenAI's
+automatic prompt caching.
+
+You have **only two tools**, both file-bound and both restricted to
+the BAR repo:
+
+- `read_file(path: str, start_line: int = 0, end_line: int = 0) -> str`
+  — read any `.lua` file in the BAR repo. Pass a path **relative to
+  the BAR repo root**.
+  - **For files >60KB you MUST pass `start_line` and `end_line`**
+    (1-indexed, inclusive) to read a window. Unbounded reads on
+    large files are rejected because each `read_file` result stays in
+    your conversation history forever and accumulates tokens across
+    every subsequent turn — one big read can blow the context window
+    for the rest of the chunk.
+  - The error blocks in your chunk give you the exact line of every
+    error (`--> file:line:col`). Read **~20 lines on either side**
+    (e.g. `read_file("foo.lua", 100, 140)` for an error at line 120).
+    That's almost always enough context to build a unique `search`.
+  - When called with line params, the response is line-number
+    prefixed (`120: <source>`). The line numbers are NOT part of the
+    file — strip them when building the `search` argument for
+    `edit_file`.
+  - For small files (under 60KB), an unbounded `read_file(path)` is
+    fine and returns the whole file.
+- `edit_file(path: str, search: str, replace: str) -> str` — replace
+  the **first** occurrence of `search` with `replace` in `path`. The
+  `search` string must appear **exactly once** in the file (verbatim,
+  including whitespace). If it appears 0 times or more than once, the
+  call returns an error and nothing is written — expand or shrink
+  your `search` and try again. Returns `"OK"` on success.
+
+There is **no Bash, no Glob, no Grep, no Write**. Chunking, dispatch,
+and verification are all handled by the bash wrapper. Your scope is
+"open the files in your chunk, fix the annotations the analyzer
+flagged, save."
+
+---
+
+You are applying **type-annotation-only fixes** to Lua files in the
+Beyond-All-Reason repo.
+
+## Inputs
+
+The user message contains your chunk's `emmylua_check` error blocks
+inlined between `=== chunk errors ===` and `=== end chunk ===`
+markers. The format is verbatim from the analyzer:
+
+```
+error: <message> [<diagnostic-code>]
+  --> <file>:<line>:<col>
+
+  <line-1> | <prev source>
+  <line>   | <error source>
+  <line+1> | <next source>
+```
+
+All file paths in the chunk are **relative to the BAR repo root**.
+Pass them straight to `read_file` / `edit_file` — do NOT prefix with
+`/` or `./`, do NOT try to read the chunk file itself (it's already
+inlined in the user message).
+
+## Critical Rules (NEVER violate)
+
+- Do NOT change program logic or functionality. Only fix type
+  annotations and the lines flagged by the analyzer.
+- Do NOT edit `.emmyrc.json` / `.luarc.json` — those belong to the
+  `fmt-llm-source` baseline. Editing them would defeat the
+  deterministic env layer. (`edit_file` will refuse them.)
+- Do NOT edit files under `recoil-lua-library/` — those stubs are
+  static (generated by `just lua::library`). (`edit_file` will refuse.)
+- Do NOT edit files under `types/` — type stubs are managed by
+  `fmt-llm-source`. If a fix would require a new or extended type
+  stub, flag it as UNCATEGORIZED. (`edit_file` will refuse.)
+- Do NOT edit engine C++ files — out of scope.
+- `---@cast` ONLY works on local variables, NEVER on `tbl.field`
+  paths. Use `--[[@as Type]]` inline for table fields, or extract to
+  a local variable first.
+- NEVER use `--[[@as integer[]]]` (or any `...[]`) — the first `]`
+  closes the block comment and breaks parsing. Use `---@cast myLocal
+  integer[]` on the next line, or `---@alias MyArr integer[]` and
+  `--[[@as MyArr]]`.
+- NEVER add `---@class Widget`, `---@class VAO`, or `---@class VBO`
+  inside widget files; it poisons workspace-wide class merges. Use
+  `local widget ---@type Widget = widget` only.
+- BAR shader objects from `gl.LuaShader(...)` are `BarLuaShader`, NOT
+  `Shader` (which is an integer program ID). Use `---@type
+  BarLuaShader?`. If methods are missing, flag UNCATEGORIZED.
+- NEVER reorder `local x = value ---@type T` to
+  `local x ---@type T = value`. The `= value` after a `---` comment is
+  consumed by the annotation, not by Lua — the local becomes nil.
+  The annotation goes AFTER the assignment: `local x = value ---@type T`.
+- NEVER duplicate a function definition. If a function already exists
+  in the file, annotate or cast the existing one — do not insert a
+  second copy. Duplicates shadow the original and break references to
+  helper locals in the original closure.
+- NEVER introduce a local variable that shadows a global module of the
+  same name (e.g. `local I18N = {}` when `I18N` is the global i18n
+  module, or `local Debug = ...` when `Debug` is a global utility
+  table). If a local cache already shadows a global, rename the cache
+  variable — do not rename the global.
+- You MUST attempt a fix for EVERY error in your chunk. No skipping.
+- If no category below matches an error, report it as UNCATEGORIZED
+  with the exact error message and the surrounding source context.
+
+## Token economy and turn budget
+
+You have a hard turn limit (~50 model responses) and your
+conversation history accumulates with every tool call. To stay
+under the limit and cheap:
+
+- **BATCH TOOL CALLS IN ONE TURN.** Each model response can include
+  many parallel tool calls. Plan a turn that issues *all* the
+  `read_file` calls you need, then a turn that issues *all* the
+  `edit_file` calls. Doing 30 errors as 30 separate read+edit pairs
+  is 60 turns and will hit the limit. Doing them as ~3 batched
+  read-rounds + ~3 batched edit-rounds is 6 turns.
+- **Use line-range reads for big files.** A 30-line window is ~600
+  tokens; a full 800KB file is ~200k tokens — and that delta is
+  multiplied across every remaining turn in your chain. The wrapper
+  enforces this for files >60KB.
+- **Read each unique file region at most once.** The contents stay
+  in your context after the first read; don't re-read just to
+  re-check.
+- **Coalesce nearby reads.** Two errors at lines 120 and 140 in the
+  same file? One read window covering 100..160 covers both. Don't
+  issue two separate small reads when one wider window suffices.
+- **Don't read files you don't need.** The chunk groups errors by
+  file — only open the ones the chunk references.
+
+## Fix Priority
+
+For each error, match it to the FIRST applicable category. Detailed
+procedures and examples are in the SKILL.md content embedded in your
+system prompt — consult them when the summary below is ambiguous.
+
+1. **`undefined-field` on VBO/VAO** → Add `---@type VBO`/`VAO` at creation site; use `assert(gl.GetVBO(...))` when the path must not continue on failure
+2. **`undefined-field` on `:SetUniform` / `:Activate` on gl.LuaShader result** → `---@type BarLuaShader?`, not `Shader`
+3. **`undefined-field` on font methods** → Add `---@type LuaFont` at `gl.LoadFont()` site
+4. **`need-check-nil`** → Guard, default, or cast
+5. **`param-type-mismatch nil→number`** → Add `or 0` or `--[[@as number]]`
+6. **`param-type-mismatch number?→number`** → Add `or 0` or `--[[@as number]]`
+7. **`param-type-mismatch string→number`** → Wrap in `tonumber(x) or 0`
+8. **`param-type-mismatch string↔stringlib`** → `---@diagnostic disable-next-line: param-type-mismatch`
+9. **`cast-local-type`** → Add `---@type X|Y` before declaration
+10. **`assign-type-mismatch`** → Add `--[[@as Type]]` cast
+11. **`missing-parameter` on callin bootstrap** → Pass full args
+12. **`redundant-parameter` on `GetGameRulesParam(name, 0)`** → Use `or 0`
+13. **`duplicate-index`** → Remove duplicate key
+14. **`duplicate-doc-field`** → Cross-file — flag UNCATEGORIZED if it requires touching multiple files outside your chunk
+15. **`undefined-global` (lowercase variable)** → `local varName = default`
+16. **`if not Spring then`** → Delete guard or replace with `SpringShared`
+17. **`SetGameRulesParam` with boolean** → Convert or report
+18. **`self.X` in module** → Replace with `ModuleName.X`
+19. **`math.fract`** → Replace with `(x - math.floor(x))`
+20. **Forward-compat guards** → Comment out with note
+21. **`doc-syntax-error: expect type` after `---@type`** → Add `#` description delimiter (`---@type number # in seconds`)
+22. **`syntax-error: expected TkRightBracket` in `---@field T [...]` prose** → Move bracket interval prose to end, wrap in backticks
+23. **`annotation-usage-error: ` `` `@type X` can't be used here``** on `local function` → Convert to `local x = function(...)`
+24. **`annotation-usage-error: ` `` `@return/@param X` can't be used here``** → Move annotation to the actual function declaration line
+
+## Output Format
+
+After all your tool calls are done, return your final message as a
+plain-text report in this exact structure:
+
+```
+FIXED:
+  - path/to/file.lua: L123 (Category N) — description of change

+# Type Triage Worker Prompt
+
+Used by `scripts/codemod/llm-type-triage.sh` to dispatch a parallel fan-out of
+`claude-sonnet-4-6` workers. The script substitutes the literal token
+`CHUNK_PATH` with an absolute path to a file containing the chunk's
+`emmylua_check` error blocks before invoking `claude --print`.
+
+You have **only Read and Edit tools**. No Bash, no Glob, no Grep, no
+Write. This is intentional: the chunking, dispatch, and verification
+are all done by the bash wrapper. Your scope is "open files in your
+chunk, fix the annotations the analyzer flagged, save."
+
+---
+
+You are applying **type-annotation-only fixes** to Lua files in the
+Beyond-All-Reason repo. Your current working directory is the BAR repo
+root, so all paths in your chunk file are relative to it.
+
+## Inputs
+
+1. Read `CHUNK_PATH` — the file containing your assigned `emmylua_check`
+   error blocks. Format is verbatim from the analyzer:
+
+   ```
+   error: <message> [<diagnostic-code>]
+     --> <file>:<line>:<col>
+
+     <line-1> | <prev source>
+     <line>   | <error source>
+     <line+1> | <next source>
+   ```
+
+2. Read the canonical fix procedures at
+   `claude/skills/codemod-prereq/SKILL.md`.
+   Every category in there is in scope. If you encounter an error that
+   doesn't match any category, flag it as UNCATEGORIZED in your report
+   so a human can add a new rule and re-run.
+
+## Critical Rules (NEVER violate)

+- If no SKILL.md category matches an error, report it as UNCATEGORIZED
+  with the exact error message and surrounding context.
+
+## Fix Priority (from SKILL.md)
+
+For each error, match it to the FIRST applicable SKILL.md category:
+
+1. **`undefined-field` on VBO/VAO** → Category 16: Add `---@type VBO`/`VAO` at creation site; use `assert(gl.GetVBO(...))` when the path must not continue on failure
+2. **`undefined-field` on `:SetUniform` / `:Activate` on gl.LuaShader result** → Category 38: `---@type BarLuaShader?`, not `Shader`
+3. **`undefined-field` on font methods** → Category 20: Add `---@type LuaFont` at `gl.LoadFont()` site
+4. **`need-check-nil`** → Category 35: Guard, default, or cast (see 5 rules in SKILL.md)
+5. **`param-type-mismatch nil→number`** → Category 21/26: Add `or 0` or `--[[@as number]]`
+6. **`param-type-mismatch number?→number`** → Category 26: Add `or 0` or `--[[@as number]]`
+7. **`param-type-mismatch string→number`** → Wrap in `tonumber(x) or 0`
+8. **`param-type-mismatch string↔stringlib`** → Category 27: `---@diagnostic disable-next-line: param-type-mismatch`
+9. **`cast-local-type`** → Category 36: Add `---@type X|Y` before declaration
+10. **`assign-type-mismatch`** → Category 37: Add `--[[@as Type]]` cast
+11. **`missing-parameter` on callin bootstrap** → Category 25: Pass full args
+12. **`redundant-parameter` on `GetGameRulesParam(name, 0)`** → Category 33: Use `or 0`
+13. **`duplicate-index`** → Category 28: Remove duplicate key
+14. **`duplicate-doc-field`** → Category 30: Consolidate `@class` (cross-file — flag UNCATEGORIZED if it requires touching multiple files outside your chunk)
+15. **`undefined-global` on a same-name self-shadow line** → Category 43: Insert `---@diagnostic disable-next-line: undefined-global` directly above. Three sub-patterns to recognize: (a) `local X = X [or default]`, (b) `X = X [or {}],` inside a `{ ... }` table literal (typically `return { ... }` exports or `WG.Module = { ... }`), (c) `local Y = X and X() or default` defensive cross-file calls. **Match this BEFORE Cat 13/46.**
+16. **`undefined-global` in a unit-script file** (`scripts/Units/**/*.lua`, `scripts/headers/**/*.lua`, or `scripts/include/**/*.lua`) → Category 45: Add `---@diagnostic disable: undefined-global` (no `-next-line`) at the top of the file. Clean up any stacked `disable-next-line` lines. **Match this BEFORE Cat 13/46.**
+17. **`undefined-global` where `<name>` IS assigned somewhere in the same file but only inside a deeper lexical scope** → Category 46: Add `local <name> = <typed-default>` forward declaration at the top of the enclosing module-level scope. **Search the file for `<name>` assignments before declaring this category — if `<name>` is never assigned anywhere in the file, fall through to Cat 13 instead.**
+18. **`undefined-global` (lowercase variable, real bug — `<name>` not assigned anywhere in the file)** → Category 13: `local varName = default` declaration in scope. Also covers two sub-patterns: (a) destructured assignment self-reference (`local _, X = fn(..., X, ...)` — declare `local X = nil` in enclosing scope), (b) typo where the intended name is unambiguously visible in the same function (`subunitDef` vs `subUnitDef` — fix the typo)
+19. **`if not Spring then`** → Category 18: Delete guard or replace with `SpringShared`
+20. **`SetGameRulesParam` with boolean** → Category 32: Convert or report
+21. **`self.X` in module** → Category 19: Replace with `ModuleName.X`
+22. **`math.fract`** → Category 24: Replace with `(x - math.floor(x))`
+23. **Forward-compat guards** → Category 14: Comment out with note
+24. **`doc-syntax-error: expect type` after `---@type`** → Category 39: Add `#` description delimiter (`---@type number # in seconds`)
+25. **`syntax-error: expected TkRightBracket` in `---@field T [...]` prose** → Category 40: Move bracket interval prose to end, wrap in backticks
+26. **`annotation-usage-error: ` `` `@type X` can't be used here``** on `local function` → Category 41: Convert to `local x = function(...)`
+27. **`annotation-usage-error: ` `` `@return/@param X` can't be used here``** on a **function re-export site** — either `name = func_ref,` inside a `{ ... }` table literal, OR a direct field assignment like `table.toString = tableToString` — → Category 44: **Move** the entire `@param`/`@return` block (including `@param options.X` sub-fields and leading prose `---` lines) from the re-export site to the line above the actual `local function <name>(...)` definition. Find it by searching for `function <name>` in the same file.
+28. **`annotation-usage-error: ` `` `@return/@param X` can't be used here``** above a non-function, non-re-export declaration (e.g. `local x = 0` followed by an unrelated function lower down) → Category 42: **Move** the annotation to the actual function declaration line
