Every patch line must start at column 1.

Trajectory Hints

• clean: no execution errors, no loop pattern, no contradictory DONE/FAIL text
• recovered: result reached but trace shows errors, retries, or contradictory completion text
• violated: result reached after breaking an explicit structured rule such as no_retry_on_error

Let me check the function definition again.\n\nThe function signature shows:\n```\n\"parameters\": {\"type\": \"\", \"properties\": null}\n```\n\nThis is malformed/empty.
