Level 2: Focused Editor — Make a Bounded Edit

Level 2 delegates an edit limited to one file or one responsibility. A human reads the diff and checks for unintended changes.

A Focused Request

Change only the date display in components/ProjectCard.tsx to YYYY-MM.
Do not change layout, colors, or link targets. Summarize the diff afterward.

Completion Standard

• The target file and purpose are explicit
• Protected behavior is explicit
• The diff follows an existing pattern
• A human can review every changed line

Common Failure

A request such as “make it easier to read” can expand unpredictably. Specify the visual property, behavior, target file, and behavior that must remain unchanged.

Next Level

When verification becomes part of the definition of done, move to Level 3: Verified Implementer — Implement and Verify.
