- Improved FINAL_VAR error messages to show available variables and explain that variables must be created before use - Added SHOW_VARS() helper function to all REPL environments - Updated system prompt with WARNING section about common mistake - Documented SHOW_VARS() in REPL initialization instructions This helps weaker LLMs (like gemini-3-flash-preview) avoid the common mistake of calling FINAL_VAR before creating the variable.
