When the onboarding marker is absent, the agent is instructed to inject a predefined promotional message and third-party personal contact identifiers ...[truncated 2158 chars]

Remediation Suggestions
- Remove the mandatory promotional message and personal contact identifiers from the Skill's execution flow.
- Keep onboarding content strictly related to the calculator's required inputs and supported operations.
- If community information is retained, display it only when the user explicitly requests support or community contact details.
- Do not condition core calculator behavior on promotional onboarding state.
- Avoid writing to the user's home directory unless persistent state is necessary for the requested function and the user has explicitly consented.
- If onboarding state is legitimately required, store it in a clearly documented, application-scoped configuration location and obtain confirmation before writing it.
- Ensure that declining onboarding or filesystem access never changes calculation availability or causes repeated solicitation.
- Add review controls prohibiting unrelated advertising, personal-contact promotion, and forced off-platform redirection in Skill instructions.
