 Cortad tests the AI in this repository, then watches it in production with the same questions. Simulated users written from the app's code talk to the app running on this machine, with its real prompts, tools, retrieval and database, and every reply is asked a set of questions: the app's own rules, its journeys, and a set of engineering standards, each answered on what that reply did for that user. Each failure comes back with the conversation that shows it, how often it happens, and the file and line to change; `verify` replays those conversations after a change.

Once production is connected, `status` about `users` is how you learn who uses this app and how, before you change what they use. Asked for nothing, it lists its tables (conversations, the behavioral questions, their answers, people, profiles, visits, the moments after each answer, reactions) and what every column means. With `answer` it gives a ready answer: `users` for who they are by user profile, `feature` with `subject` (a page, an app route, the part of the app or a topic) before you edit that feature, `stuck` for where people get stuck across every visit and its replay, `change` with `subject` (a release or the time a change went out) for how the same people fared after it. Each answer carries the asks it was made of; change one and send it as `ask` to cut the numbers your own way. People are random ids, not names or emails, and no word a person wrote is in any of it. Before editing a feature real people use, ask `feature` and say in a line what you found. Where conversations went badly with no question failing, `tell` with `questions` proposes one for the person's yes.
