… verification workflow Problem: Gadget service was hallucinating technologies and missing actual dependencies despite 500+ line prompt with extensive instructions. Solution: Replace monolithic prompt with structured 4-step verification workflow: - Step 1: Map project structure via list_dir - Step 2: Verify each technology by reading specific files - Step 3: Extract all configuration from verified files - Step 4: Validate build requirements Key changes: - Reduce prompt from 500 to ~100 lines by removing redundant examples - Introduce verification tables - Make file reading mandatory before technology claims - Use sequential steps where each depends on previous results - Higher default reasoning effort (Medium minimum) Result: Technologies can only be included if verified by actual file content, making hallucination structurally difficult rather than behaviorally discouraged.

Problem
The Gadget service was hallucinating technologies and missing actual dependencies, despite an
extensive 500+ line prompt. This led to inaccurate and unreliable outputs.
Solution
This pull request replaces the monolithic prompt with a structured 4-step verification workflow.
This new approach makes it structurally difficult for the model to claim a technology without
verifying its existence in the codebase.
The new workflow is as follows:
project layout.
extracted configuration.
Key Changes
This change significantly improves the reliability of the Gadget service by grounding its
analysis in the actual content of the repository.
