 Read `reference/first-principles.md` before asking. Questions to ask (one at a time, using `AskUserQuestion`):
 
-1. **Body invariant** — "Are there accessibility requirements for motor-impaired users, or will this be used primarily on mobile devices? (This affects minimum touch target sizes and input method assumptions.)"
-2. **Attention invariant** — "What is the single most important action a user should take on the primary screen? (This will be the only element styled as a primary action.)"
-3. **Memory invariant** — "Are there any multi-step flows where users must carry information from one screen to the next? (This determines whether we need progress indicators or inline context cues.)"

   2. **Fill gaps**: Identify decision categories NOT covered by any D-XX in the `<decisions>` block (typically: implementation constraints, user preferences, interaction patterns not captured in CSS). Ask one question per gap.
