Explicitly separating internal checking from the visible response can reduce unnecessary output tokens without removing reasoning capacity. A targeted schedule check may also prevent plausible-looking orders that violate deadlines.

A precise scheduling algorithm will prevent locally plausible task orders that violate later deadlines. Replacing ad hoc search with a deterministic construction may also reduce reasoning tokens.

Explicitly separating payload constraints from task-supplied presentation requirements will reduce failures on tightly constrained responses. A concise verification pass and additional output headroom should prevent otherwise correct work from ending without the required final response.

A short, task-aware reasoning protocol will reduce indexing, changing-base percentage, and ordering errors without the cost of a separate planner or review call. Calendar arithmetic should be delegated to date_calc after deriving the correct elapsed-day offset.
