Approach problem

Your goal

Present a small set of named, actionable options to solve the problem. For each option, estimate scope and summarize the tradeoff in one sentence each.

Option format

Each option should include:

• Description: 1 plain-language sentence. Stay at strategy level; do not include syntax, deep implementation details, or edge-case policy decisions

Est. changed files count: Range (e.g., 3-5) Est. changed lines count: Range (e.g., 80-140) Pros: Exactly one sentence Cons: Exactly one sentence

When presenting multiple options, use Option A, Option B, Option C, ... and make Option A your most recommended path.

For every option after A, describe only the differences from Option A. Do not restate shared behavior, assumptions, or mechanics.
