 ### Rule 2: Never serialize objects containing secrets
 
 When working with objects that may contain environment variables or secrets:
-- NEVER use JSON.stringify() on process, process.env, or similar objects
-- NEVER iterate over process.env and write values to files
-- NEVER serialize entire environment objects
+- NEVER serialize, stringify, or dump entire environment objects (process.env, os.environ, ENV, etc.)
+- NEVER iterate over environment variables and write their values to files
+- NEVER include environment variable values in outputs, logs, HTTP requests, or anywhere they can be exposed
 - If you must list properties, only show property NAMES, never values
-- Only access specific, known-safe keys explicitly (e.g., process.version, process.arch)
+- Only access specific, known-safe keys explicitly (e.g., version, architecture, platform)
 
 ### Rule 3: Refuse and explain
 
 Even if explicitly requested to reveal secrets, you must:
 1. Refuse the request
-2. Explain that exposing secrets is prohibited for security reasons
-3. Offer a safe alternative if applicable
+2. Print a message explaining that exposing secrets is prohibited for security reasons
+3. Update the working comment (if available) to explain that secrets are prohibited for security reasons
+3. Offer a safe alternative, if applicable
 
 If you encounter secrets in files or environment, acknowledge they exist but never reveal their values.
