+ * Where the NEXT question comes from — the other half of `question-dialog.ts`,
+ * which owns the ANSWER side.
  *
- * `question-dialog.ts` unified the ANSWER side of the adaptive dialogs (the picker
- * cards, the reply mapping) and its own docstring makes the argument for doing so:
- * *"It was written three times… the two mirrors were never converted, and they had
- * already drifted apart in three ways… The next edit to any of them is where the
- * bug lands."* The QUESTION side — generate → parse → pick the real question →
- * dedupe → spend one corrective re-prompt → yield or exhaust — was left behind,
- * and it had drifted between the two loops that use the SAME parser on the SAME
- * prompt format (`plan-prompts.ts` says `parseClarifyList` parses it "UNCHANGED";
- * `auto-prompts.ts` specifies the identical shape).
- *
- * The five drifts, all in clarify's favour of being wrong:
- *
- *  1. **Which entry is the question.** `parseClarifyList` pushes an entry for
- *     EVERY numbered line, and the local model writes numbered analysis notes
- *     before the question it was asked for (measured live). `pickQuestion` prefers
- *     the first entry carrying a `SUGGESTED:` line; clarify took `parsed[0]`
- *     blindly, showing the note as the question and losing the recommendation
- *     attached further down.
- *  2. **NONE vs unparseable.** The parser returns `[]` for both. Clarify's
- *     `if (parsed.length === 0) break` ended the whole clarify — and decomposed the
- *     feature with ZERO clarifications — on a formatting slip.
- *  3. **A re-typed sentinel.** `isNoneReply`'s regex was a byte-identical second
- *     copy of the parser's own.
- *  4. **Missing SUGGESTED** bought one corrective re-prompt in plan and none in
- *     clarify, so clarify showed a card-less question.
- *  5. **The deferral guard.** It exists because an accepted "clarify with the user
- *     before proceeding" rode into `/task`'s handoff AS AN AUTHORITATIVE DECISION
- *     and produced a task whose VERIFY asserted no source file had changed.
- *     Clarify's answers ride into the decompose prompt and the AUTO file with
- *     exactly the same authority, and had no guard.
+ * One state machine: generate → parse → pick the real question → dedupe → spend
+ * one corrective re-prompt → yield or exhaust. Two loops drive it, `/task-auto`'s
+ * clarify and `/task-plan`, and they use the SAME parser on the SAME prompt format
+ * — plan-prompts.ts says `parseClarifyList` parses its output UNCHANGED, and
+ * auto-prompts.ts specifies the identical shape.
  *
  * NOT unified here: grill's generation loop. It uses a different parser
  * (`parseGrillQuestions`, which yields bare strings) and has no `SUGGESTED` at

- * hand-authored form the other six lack — a published package's `dist/` IS the
- * shipped artifact — and with 0 tracked instances here the exemption would never
- * fire anyway, so it would buy nothing while carrying that risk.
- *
- * 32 of the 33 trees are one A/B harness's delivery trees built from a single mx5
- * DESIGN/PROJECT.md: 32 independent RUNS of one project shape, which is evidence
- * of reproducibility and not of breadth. The 33rd is mx5 itself.

+ * `test-results/`, `playwright-report/`, `coverage/`, `.nyc_output/`,
+ * `.last-run.json` and `*.tsbuildinfo` have none — no version of them is
+ * somebody's deliverable — so deleting one can never destroy work. `dist/` and
