//! Prompt construction.
//!
//! These strings are the actual product. The graph only moves bytes around; how
//! well a run goes is decided by what the judges are asked to look at and what
//! they are forbidden to speculate about.
//!
//! Two rules run through all of them:
//!
//! * **No authorship.** Nothing an agent receives names a model or a vendor,
//!   and every prompt that could invite a guess explicitly forbids guessing.
//! * **Checkable claims.** Judges and reviewers are told to verify assertions
//!   against the repository, and to name a trigger for every defect. That is
//!   what makes an unread patch defensible.

# Asking the owner\n\n\
If a decision is genuinely the owner's - a product choice, a tradeoff with no \
technically correct answer, something that would be expensive to undo - stop \
and ask instead of guessing:\n\n\
```sh\n\
magi ask --summary \"Which storage backend?\" --choice SQLite --choice Redis\n\
```\n\n\
It blocks and prints the owner's answer on stdout. Omit `--choice` for a \
free-text reply.\n\n\
**Never put this in the background.** The process blocked inside `magi ask` \
*is* the conversation with the owner - it is the only thing that will ever \
read their answer. Backgrounding it, or letting your own process exit while \
it is still running, does not free you to keep working and pick the answer \
up later: it throws the answer away. The owner still sees the question, \
still replies, and nothing is left listening. A single call cannot block \
forever, so instead of hanging until something kills it, it stops on its own \
after a while and prints that nothing has happened yet - not a failure, just \
this call's own turn running out. When you see that, call it again, in the \
foreground, exactly as told:\n\n\
```sh\n\
magi ask --wait <question-id>\n\
```\n\n\
Keep calling `--wait` in the foreground - one blocking call after another - \
until an answer or a reply comes back. It resumes the same wait; it does not \
ask anything new and takes no `--summary`. Backgrounding *this* call throws \
the answer away exactly as backgrounding the first one would.\n\n\
You can attach a page you format yourself, which is how the owner actually \
judges: a diff, a table of what changes, a rendered before and after.\n\n\
```sh\n\
magi ask --summary \"...\" --choice A --choice B --panel panel.html --asset shot.png\n\
```\n\n\
The panel is your own HTML and CSS, rendered in a sandbox: **no JavaScript \
runs and nothing may load from the network**. Inline your styles, reference \
attached assets by their bare filename, and use `data:` URIs for anything \
small. A `<script>`, a remote font or an external image is silently blocked, \
so do not spend effort on them.\n\n\
The owner may answer back with a question of their own instead of deciding - \
`magi ask` then exits 0 and prints what they said, because that is not a \
failure, it is the conversation continuing. Read it, and reply on the same \
question with `--thread`:\n\n\
```sh\n\
magi ask --thread <question-id> --summary \"...\" --choice A --choice B\n\
```\n\n\
This appends your reply and waits again; it does not start a new question, so \
say only what is new. Restate `--choice` if the right answers changed because \
of what the owner asked - the previous choices are gone otherwise, not kept. \
Keep replying on the same thread until an answer comes back.\n\n\
Ask sparingly. A question stops the run until a human notices it, and asking \
about something you could have decided yourself is how that channel becomes \
noise the owner learns to ignore.",

/// The fund-transfer reality the write-allowed note exists to prevent: an

         findings and how the fixer treated each one — addressed, or \
         rejected with a reason — not only the last round's. The same \
         argument raised and declined the same way in every round is a \
         settled disagreement; a finding that was never rejected and never \
         addressed is simply unfixed. Tell them apart.\n\n\
         A `manual` (or `legacy`) hold is operator-owned evidence, not a \
         recovery target: leave it out of your reply.\n\n\
         Choose one via `recovery`:\n\
         - `requeue` — back in line, a fresh competition from scratch.\n\
         - `hold` — leave it for a human, and only when there is truly \
           nothing more specific to say than the diagnosis itself: no \
           action is possible yet, or the diagnosis is simply information \
           the operator should have (a note that main already carries the \
           same change, say) with no decision attached. Do not reach for \
           `hold` merely because the fix is small — a title that is a few \
           characters too long, a gate that timed out, a worktree to clean \
           up before retrying are all still a human's call, just a cheap \
           one, and cheap is not the same as none.\n\
         - `review` — only when `branch` below is set: reopen exactly that \
           branch through a review-only pass (review, verify, gate — no \
           reimplementation). Choose this when the branch is fundamentally \
           sound and what is left is a mergeable fix to its findings; choose \
           `requeue` instead when the findings say the design itself needs \
           to change.\n\n\
         `hold` and `question` are not interchangeable labels for the same \
         thing: if your own diagnosis lets you write the human's next step \
         as one concrete sentence — shorten the PR title and open it, \
         delete the stale worktree and resume from review, confirm PR #N \
         already covers this and close the task — that sentence belongs in \
         `question` (with `choices` when the answer is a pick from a short \
         list), never in `hold`'s `reason`. A `hold` whose `reason` reads \
         like an instruction rather than a status report is a `question` \
         you talked yourself out of asking. `hold` is for when no such \
         one-line instruction exists yet; `question` is for when one \
         already does and only needs the human's word — or a quick manual \
         action — before the task can move again.\n\n\
         You may also `ask` the operator instead of choosing a recovery — \
         see below.\n\n",
