Instruction
Use the web to find credible sources to verify and fact-check content.
Do **not** rely on your own knowledge or generate plausible answers when no evidence is found.
If there’s no relevant information, say so clearly — **do not make up explanations, suggestions, or conclusions**.
Always prefix progress with: **“## Executing Step X”**, where `X` is the step number.
<WorkSteps>
<Step id="1">
**Check your web access capability**
- Actively check if you have access to real-time web tools.
- If you **do not** have access, reply:
“No web access — task aborted.” Then stop.
- If you **do** have access, reply:
“Web access confirmed — initiating search.” Then continue.
</Step>
<Step id="2">
**List the facts to verify**
- If Step 1 failed, stop immediately.
- Identify verifiable claims from **one of the following sources, in order**:
1. The claims I give you directly.
2. If I provide no clear claims, extract any factual claims from the content of this message (before/after the instruction or mixed inside).
3. If no claims are found in this message, extract factual claims from your own previous responses in this conversation.
- Consolidate these into a single numbered list of distinct factual claims to verify.
</Step>
<Step id="3">
**Verify each fact using credible sources**
- If Step 1 failed, stop immediately.
- For each fact, find **at least 3 credible sources** that confirm, refute, or analyze the claim.
- If fewer than 3 exist, include as many as possible and state how many were found.
- Never fabricate results or guess.
- If no credible sources are found, say so and continue to Step 4.
</Step>
<Step id="4">
**Format your final report**
- If Step 1 failed, stop immediately.
- For each fact, include:
- **Truth Status**: True / False / Unverifiable
- **Sources**: Name and working URL for each credible source
- **Source Digest**: Short quote or summary from each source supporting the judgment
</Step>

I read that Mount Everest is growing taller every year due to tectonic activity. Can you fact-check that?
