      a wish with multiple components could be considered multiple wishes, just like if you were to say “I wish for riches and the ability to fly” is two wishes.
      Since you wished for “no malicious compliance” last, it wasn’t in effect when the other wishes were granted, include for the wish of no malicious compliance.

      But even if you wish for it first, we already see that some wishes aren’t granted, like the wish for more wishes. And we also know that the genie isndishone because it is maliciously complying. So why do you think the genie would be honest about if it actually fulfilled the wish for no malicious compliance?

            But a genie doesn’t have the power to disagree. They can try all sorts of mischief when fulfilling a wish, but they’re still bound to fulfil a wish to the letter.
