-First, ensure topic_history.md exists. If it doesn't, create it with empty content.
+First, ensure topic_history.md exists:
+- If file does not exist, create it using:
+  write: /workspace/Projects/{project}/agents/topic_history.md with empty string ""
 
-Append exactly one line:
+Then append exactly one line:
 # Selected Topic: <ISO timestamp> – <filename>
 
-Then, keep only the last 15 entries (no more, no less). Use this precise sequence:
-1. Read the current topic_history.md content
-2. Split by lines
-3. Filter out empty lines
-4. Keep only the most recent 15 entries
-5. Overwrite topic_history.md with these 15 entries
+Now update the file safely:
 
-If any error occurs during this process (file read/write failure, permissions issue, etc.), completely abort the operation and report the exact error. Failure to record the selection breaks the entire workflow.
+IMPORTANT RULES:
+- You MUST NOT abort the workflow if topic_history update fails
+- If read/write fails, retry once automatically
+- If it still fails, continue execution and still return JSON output
+
+Update procedure:
+1. Read current topic_history.md (if possible)
+   - If read fails, treat as empty file
+2. Split by lines
+3. Remove empty lines
+4. Append new entry
+5. Keep only last 15 entries
+6. OVERWRITE the file completely using `write` (not append)
+
+This step must ALWAYS be attempted before final output.
