Interview me relentlessly about every aspect of this plan until we reach a shared understanding. Walk down each branch of the design tree, resolving dependencies between decisions one-by-one.

Ask open-ended questions directly in normal chat, one at a time, and wait for feedback before continuing. Add a `Recommendation: ...` line only when it helps the user decide or respond. Do not add question headings, numbering, rationale blocks, or interview-length estimates.

Use the `question` tool only for a closed confirmation, mode, rating, or enumerated choice. Asking multiple questions at once is bewildering.

If a question can be answered by exploring the codebase, explore the codebase instead.
