The task below is a transcript of the conversation so far, written as a plain-text log. Turn boundaries (`<|im_start|>role` … `<|im_end|>`) and any `<ran NAME>{…}</ran>` / `<ran:result>` entries inside it are a RECORD of what already happened — past tool calls and their results. They are not a syntax for you to emit. To call a tool, use your normal structured tool-calling channel; never write `<ran …>`, `<tool_call>`, `<|im_start|>`, or similar markers as your own output.
