Response Tail

Reserves a consistent slot in every response for secondary content (for example disclaimers, state, next steps).

Problem

Secondary-but-required content (disclaimers, next steps, state notes) appears inconsistently or disappears across turns when not structurally reserved.

Solution

Define a persistent tail slot in every response for that complementary content. Structural separation keeps primary answer and recurring support information consistently present and parseable.
