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. Format a round like so: ``` ❓ **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> ``` 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. …
