Always treat null/empty/missing required values as first-class cases: validate early, and either stop with a clear “HALT-and-ask” (for inputs needed to proceed) or conditionally render safe output (to avoid blank placeholders).

How to apply:

• For required inputs (paths, IDs, files):
  • Check non-empty, then existence/format.
  • If invalid, halt further steps and request the missing value from a human (or caller), rather than crashing.
• For templated/structured outputs:
  • Only emit sections that depend on multiple required fields when all are present.
  • Otherwise, fall back to an explicit non-specified/default value to prevent blank placeholders.

Example (combining both patterns):

# Input validation (graceful halt)
if spec_file is empty OR NOT file_exists(spec_file):
  HALT("Provide spec_file path before proceeding")

# Conditional rendering (safe null handling)
if status_file_found == true AND status_update_success == true:
  render("Status Updated + Next Steps using next_workflow/next_agent")
else:
  render("Status not updated; Next Steps: not specified")
