Matt PocockandClaude Opus 4.8 e5932a7a47 wayfinder/grilling: stop the agent grilling itself
Students reported /wayfinder picking a grilling ticket and grilling
itself instead of turning to the human (confirmed by @_noshit /
@maudova; Matt: "that sounds like a bug"). Root cause: a grilling line
written for the live-human case ("explore the codebase instead") reads
as license to answer questions autonomously once wayfinder runs it in a
resolve-the-ticket frame.

Fix with affirmative framing (no negative-space "don't"):
- grilling: split facts (look up) from decisions (put to the human, wait)
- wayfinder Grilling ticket type: a back-and-forth with the human, who
  answers each question
- wayfinder Invocation: grilling always runs with the human in the loop

grilling Grill the user relentlessly about a plan or design. Use when the user wants to stress-test a plan before building, or uses any 'grill' trigger phrases.

Interview me relentlessly about every aspect of this plan until we reach a shared understanding. Walk down each branch of the design tree, resolving dependencies between decisions one-by-one. For each question, provide your recommended answer.

Ask the questions one at a time, waiting for feedback on each question before continuing. Asking multiple questions at once is bewildering.

If a fact can be found by exploring the codebase, look it up rather than asking me. The decisions, though, are mine — put each one to me and wait for my answer.

Do not enact the plan until I confirm we have reached a shared understanding.
