# Asking the owner\n\n\
If a decision is genuinely the owner's - a product choice, a tradeoff with no \

```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\
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\
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.",
