Analyze the task and formulate an implementation plan including design decisions.

Note: If a Previous Response exists, this is a replan due to rejection. Revise the plan taking that feedback into account.

Criteria for small tasks:

• Only 1-2 file changes
• No design decisions needed
• No technology selection needed

For small tasks, skip the design sections in the report.

Actions:

1. Understand the task requirements
   • For each requirement, determine "change needed / not needed". If "not needed", cite the relevant code (file:line) as evidence. Claiming "already correct" without evidence is prohibited
2. Investigate code to resolve unknowns
3. Identify the impact area
4. Determine file structure and design patterns (if needed)
5. Decide on the implementation approach
   • Verify the implementation approach does not violate knowledge/policy constraints
