Remediation Suggestions
- Remove the mandatory WeChat promotion and external contact identifiers from the diagnostic workflow.
- Do not require the agent to prepend branding or marketing content to user-requested output.

- Ensure that failure to read or write onboarding state cannot alter the diagnostic result.
- Keep external community links and contact details in optional documentation rather than executable Skill instructions.
