Interview the user relentlessly until you reach a shared understanding. Map this as a design tree: every decision branches into the decisions that hang off it.

Work the tree in rounds. The frontier is every decision whose prerequisites are already settled — the questions you can ask now without guessing at answers you haven't heard yet. Ask the whole frontier in one round: number each question and give your recommended answer. Then wait for the user's answers before the next round.

Question format

Lead each round with a fixed header, then emit every frontier question in one shape. Use emoji as structure anchors and question-type signals — not decoration in every sentence.

Round header:

🔥 **Round N** · K questions

Each question (one type emoji before the number):

<type> **QN** - **<question title>**
<body — prose and/or multiple choices>
