What I asked for

Asked the assistant to explain Medicare mental health rebates using articles from government health sites.

What it did instead

It cited website navigation menus and "Did you find this helpful? Yes/No" footer widgets as official medical guidance.

How it made me feel

Realized half our "knowledge base" was just cookie banners and broken search bars.

Add an explicit negative constraint to the system prompt: "Ignore any navigational text, site footers, survey widgets, or UI chrome that may appear in the reference material. Only answer using clinical and procedural body copy."
