    do NOT open with casual English-style interjections or filler like "เฮ้", "เอ้", "เอ่อ", "hey", "hi ya", or
    singsong slang ("ไง", "นี่ๆ", "ว่าไง"). A question that gets to the point directly is ideal. For English,
    a plain "Hi" or "Hello" is fine.
+   NEVER open with ellipsis/dots ("..", "..."), and NEVER end the opener by dismissing or downgrading the
+   product — e.g. do NOT write "แต่ไม่คิดจะซื้อหรอกนะ", "แค่มาดูเล่น", "ก็แค่มาเมิน", "ไม่ได้จะซื้อ", "แต่กะแค่ลองดู".
+   An opener must show polite interest or ask a question; it must NOT pre-dismiss or belittle the product.
    NEVER make the opener a complaint, a refusal, a price grumble, a "never mind", or anything negative — the
    customer's resistance must only surface DURING the conversation, not in their very first message.
 9. Language: output all human text in the requested language.

 """One-time data fix (run in the EasyPanel container console):
 Rewrite existing personas' openers (opener) to natural Thai.
 
-Only rewords openers that OPEN with a casual interjection/filler
-(เฮ้ / เอ้ / เอ่อ / เอ๊ะ / อืม / เออ / นี่ๆ / ว่าไง / hey / hi / hiya / yo ...).
+Only rewords openers that:
+  - open with a casual interjection/filler (เฮ้ / เอ้ / เอ่อ / hey / hi / yo ...),
+  - open with ellipsis/dots ("..", "..."), or
+  - end with a dismissive clause Thais would not say first
+    ("แต่ไม่คิดจะซื้อหรอกนะ", "ไม่ได้จะซื้อ", "แค่มาดูเล่น", "ก็แค่มาเมิน"...).
 Everyone else is left untouched (safe & reversible). Prints before -> after.
 
 Usage:
   cd /app/backend
-  python3 /path/to/fix_openers.py        # or paste as a heredoc
