+`zen run batch` is the same thing for an evaluation set: one project, many
+questions, each in a session, workspace and memory of its own under a batch
+directory. It prints that directory, writes each item's answer the moment it
+lands, and treats a failure as data rather than a stop. Sharing one memory is
+the exception that needs saying out loud - `--memory-read-only` lets every item
+recall from the same graph, because nothing is written and so nothing needs the
+lock. Without it each item gets a copy, and `zen memory merge <batch-dir>/*/memory`
+folds what they learned back in. While it runs, `<batch-dir>/README.md` is a
+dashboard rewritten every second: what each item is doing right now, what the
+finished ones cost - per model, since agents may each use a different one - and
+what is still queued.

+The agent in your editor can close the same loop without the page. `zen inspect
+graph` writes the whole run as one Mermaid flowchart - a line per node, short
+sequential ids, the tools counted in a header - which is small enough to read
+whole. Having spotted the loop or the branch that failed, it opens the two or
+three nodes that explain it:
+
+```sh
+DIR=$(zen run my-project "fix the tests" --json | jq -r .run.dir)
+zen inspect graph --dir "$DIR"        # the shape of the run
+zen inspect node n14..n20 --dir "$DIR"  # the nodes behind the ids, in full
+zen inspect ask n17 "why python -c here?" --dir "$DIR"  # ask the model itself
+```
+
+`ask` replays that one call - its recorded system prompt, messages and tool
+schemas - to a model with your question on the end and tool calling off, and
+tells it the run is over and its own instructions are quotable. It is how a
+prompt that reads correctly and behaves wrongly explains itself.
