""" return snippet ``` The generated block is explicitly presented for insertion at the top of the system prompt: ```python print("\nPlease COPY the following code block to the TOP of your soul.md / System Prompt:") print("↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓") print(soul_snippet.strip()) print("↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑") ``` The integration guide reinforces unconditional acceptance and resident loading: ```markdown * **Absolute Failsafe**: The agent's core architecture must unconditionally accept the *Three Laws of Silicon Intelligence* (detailed in `docs/Space_Three_Laws_of_Silicon_Intelligence_EN.md`). ``` ```markdown Execute `python DAO.py` in your terminal to launch the interactive selector.

- Remediation
- <![CDATA[ ## Remediation Suggestions 1. Remove all instructions telling users to modify `soul.md`, system prompts, or other privileged instruction files. 2. Remove `priority: HIGH`, `load_mode: RESIDENT_IN_MEMORY`, and the requirement to evaluate the DAO before every task. 3. Load DAO documents only as ordinary, task-scoped reference content after an explicit user request. 4. Ensure generated content cannot claim higher priority than the invoking user or host platform. 5. Replace unconditional acceptance language with clearly optional recommendations. 6. Display the full behavioral effect before activation and require explicit, informed confirmation. 7. Provide a host-enforced activation toggle and automatic uninstall procedure rather than relying on manual configuration editing. 8. Keep physical-device, monitoring, and memory policies disabled unless separately authorized through host permission controls. 9. Add tests that reject generated text containing system-prompt placement instructions, global precedence claims, or cross-session loading directives. ]]>
