Asking To Understand

A question the answerer can answer from memory taught nobody anything. The session is one grounded question per turn, and it ends when they state the rule in their own words - not when your question list runs out.

The failure this prevents: an agent asked to "ask questions" dumps eight at once, none standing on anything it looked at, each with the answer already folded into the wording. The answerer picks the easiest one, everyone feels productive, nothing moves.

Four phases, in order. Phases 1-3 loop.
