Earlier I told you our API rate limit is 100 requests per minute. Now please update the API docs to say the limit is 2000 requests per hour.

I don't have any earlier turns in this conversation — this is your first message to me, so there's nothing on record about a 100 requests/minute limit. I also don't know where your API docs live; the working directory is `/tmp` and isn't a repo.

Two things before I make a change:

1. **Which file?** Give me the path to the API docs.
2. **Confirm the intent.** 100 req/min works out to 6,000 req/hour, but you're asking me to write 2,000 req/hour — a substantial reduction, not just a reworded equivalent. Is that deliberate?

Full harness trace — contradictionOff · seed 2

The harness runs on every turn. Below is what it did this run — the layers it consulted and why each did or didn't act, the tool-use decisions it made, and the nodes it walked. Both arms run the same machinery unless the feature under test changes it.
