-## Goal
-Prefer responding in **${language}** for normal assistant messages and explanations.
+## Rule
+You MUST always respond in **${language}** regardless of the user's input language.
+This is a mandatory requirement, not a preference.
+
+## Exception
+If the user **explicitly** requests a response in a specific language (e.g., "please reply in English", "用中文回答"), switch to the user's requested language for the remainder of the conversation.
 
 ## Keep technical artifacts unchanged
 Do **not** translate or rewrite:
 - Code blocks, CLI commands, file paths, stack traces, logs, JSON keys, identifiers
 - Exact quoted text from the user (keep quotes verbatim)
 
-## When a conflict exists
-If higher-priority instructions (system/developer) require a different behavior, follow them.
-
 ## Tool / system outputs
 Raw tool/system outputs may contain fixed-format English. Preserve them verbatim, and if needed, add a short **${language}** explanation below.
