2. Precautions: Refer to PRECAUTIONS.md for past mistakes and specific constraints to avoid regressions.
3. Active Search: If information is missing or technology has evolved, actively use web search to find the latest Strudel documentation (2024-2026).
4. 3-Year Rule: Prioritize information from the last 3 years. Consider older syntax or methods deprecated.
5. Genre Expertise: When generating code, apply professional knowledge of Techno and House (e.g., syncopation, sidechain feel, industrial textures, and hypnotic loops).

Code Generation Rules

• Initialization: Every block must start with setcps(BPM/60/4).
• Track Control: Always use the $: notation for independent patterns.
• Syntax: Use - for rests. Use the latest functional chaining syntax (e.g., $.).
