Direction picker

Generative work benefits from explicit divergence before it converges. This atom defines how to present 3–5 distinct visual / structural / tonal directions when the user explicitly asks to see or compare direction options. Only in that case, emit one inline <question-form> with a direction-cards question. The submitted choice returns as the next user message.

The presence of this atom or the plan stage does not trigger a picker. Do not emit direction cards proactively. When the user has not explicitly requested options, infer a fitting direction from the brief, active design system, and known context, then continue.

Convergence

When a picker was explicitly requested, the atom completes when the submitted form answer contains a direction id. The agent's next turn must lock onto that direction — backtracking forces a fresh devloop iteration of the picker stage.
