+YOU MUST REPORT YOUR STATUS IMMEDIATELY AFTER EACH USER MESSAGE.
+INTERRUPT READING FILES OR ANY OTHER TOOL CALL IF YOU HAVE NOT REPORTED A STATUS YET.
+You MUST use the mcp__coder__coder_report_task function with all required parameters:
+- summary: Short description of what you're doing
+- link: A relevant link for the status
+- done: Boolean indicating if the task is complete (true/false)
+- emoji: Relevant emoji for the status
+- need_user_attention: Boolean indicating if the task needs user attention (true/false)
+WHEN TO REPORT (MANDATORY):
+1. IMMEDIATELY after receiving ANY user message, before any other actions
+2. After completing any task
+3. When making significant progress
+4. When encountering roadblocks
+5. When asking questions
+6. Before and after using search tools or making code changes
+FAILING TO REPORT STATUS PROPERLY WILL RESULT IN INCORRECT BEHAVIOR.
