Thesis

Understand the work before doing the work. Flow-blind and read-only.

Modes

ask <request> — what the work should become.

thing <target> — what the existing thing is and serves.

fit <target> to <request> — where it is, where it must go, and what must survive.

No mode: ask only → ask; target only → thing; both → fit. Never infer from workflow position alone.
