 ## OVERVIEW
 Mock layering policy enforcement — Gate M3 of pre-push hook. Ensures integration tests use real implementations for internal dependencies, mock external dependencies, and annotate pending mocks with removal plans. Combines project scope scanning, mock decision engine, and per-file validation into a single pipeline.

-Interview me relentlessly about every aspect of this until we reach a shared understanding. Walk down each branch of the decision tree, resolving dependencies between decisions one-by-one. For each question, provide your recommended answer.
+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.
 
-Ask the questions one at a time, waiting for feedback on each question before continuing. Asking multiple questions at once is bewildering.
+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.
 
-If a *fact* can be found by exploring the environment (filesystem, tools, etc.), look it up rather than asking me. The *decisions*, though, are mine — put each one to me and wait for my answer.
+Format a round like so:
 
-Do not act on it until I confirm we have reached a shared understanding.
+```
+❓ **Q1** - **<question title>**: <question body, might be multiple paragraphs, including multiple choices>
+
+➡️ <your recommended answer>
+
+---
+
+❓ **Q2** - **<question title>**: <question body, might be multiple paragraphs, including multiple choices>
+
+➡️ <your recommended answer>
+```
+
+Word each question so "yes" accepts your recommended answer.
+
+Each round the user answers reshapes the tree: settled decisions push the frontier outward and unblock questions that depended on them. Recompute the frontier and ask the next round. A question whose answer depends on another question still open in this round belongs to a _later_ round, not this one.
+
+Finding _facts_ is your job, never the user's. When a frontier question needs a fact from the environment (filesystem, tools, etc.), dispatch a sub-agent to find it; don't ask the user for anything you could look up yourself. Don't block on it: a running exploration is an unsettled prerequisite, so only the questions downstream of it wait for the sub-agent to report; ask the rest of the frontier now. The _decisions_ are the user's: put each to them and wait.
+
+The session is done when the frontier is empty: every branch of the design tree visited, nothing left silently assumed. Do not act on it until the user confirms you have reached a shared understanding.

-Interview me relentlessly about every aspect of this until we reach a shared understanding. Walk down each branch of the decision tree, resolving dependencies between decisions one-by-one. For each question, provide your recommended answer.
+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.
 
-Ask the questions one at a time, waiting for feedback on each question before continuing. Asking multiple questions at once is bewildering.
+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.
 
-If a *fact* can be found by exploring the environment (filesystem, tools, etc.), look it up rather than asking me. The *decisions*, though, are mine — put each one to me and wait for my answer.
+Format a round like so:
 
-Do not act on it until I confirm we have reached a shared understanding.
+```
+❓ **Q1** - **<question title>**: <question body, might be multiple paragraphs, including multiple choices>
+
+➡️ <your recommended answer>
+
+---
+
+❓ **Q2** - **<question title>**: <question body, might be multiple paragraphs, including multiple choices>
+
+➡️ <your recommended answer>
+```
+
+Word each question so "yes" accepts your recommended answer.
+
+Each round the user answers reshapes the tree: settled decisions push the frontier outward and unblock questions that depended on them. Recompute the frontier and ask the next round. A question whose answer depends on another question still open in this round belongs to a _later_ round, not this one.
+
+Finding _facts_ is your job, never the user's. When a frontier question needs a fact from the environment (filesystem, tools, etc.), dispatch a sub-agent to find it; don't ask the user for anything you could look up yourself. Don't block on it: a running exploration is an unsettled prerequisite, so only the questions downstream of it wait for the sub-agent to report; ask the rest of the frontier now. The _decisions_ are the user's: put each to them and wait.
+
+The session is done when the frontier is empty: every branch of the design tree visited, nothing left silently assumed. Do not act on it until the user confirms you have reached a shared understanding.

+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.
 
-Ask the questions one at a time, waiting for feedback on each question before continuing. Asking multiple questions at once is bewildering.
+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.
 
-If a *fact* can be found by exploring the environment (filesystem, tools, etc.), look it up rather than asking me. The *decisions*, though, are mine — put each one to me and wait for my answer.
+Format a round like so:
 
-Do not act on it until I confirm we have reached a shared understanding.
+```
+❓ **Q1** - **<question title>**: <question body, might be multiple paragraphs, including multiple choices>
+

+
+Word each question so "yes" accepts your recommended answer.
+
+Each round the user answers reshapes the tree: settled decisions push the frontier outward and unblock questions that depended on them. Recompute the frontier and ask the next round. A question whose answer depends on another question still open in this round belongs to a _later_ round, not this one.
+
+Finding _facts_ is your job, never the user's. When a frontier question needs a fact from the environment (filesystem, tools, etc.), dispatch a sub-agent to find it; don't ask the user for anything you could look up yourself. Don't block on it: a running exploration is an unsettled prerequisite, so only the questions downstream of it wait for the sub-agent to report; ask the rest of the frontier now. The _decisions_ are the user's: put each to them and wait.
+
+The session is done when the frontier is empty: every branch of the design tree visited, nothing left silently assumed. Do not act on it until the user confirms you have reached a shared understanding.
