/**
 * The interview protocol, v0.
 *
 * Implemented as plain structured tool results so it works on every MCP
 * client today. Semantically aligned with MCP SEP-2322 (multi round-trip
 * requests); when clients adopt the 2026-07-28 spec, these questionnaires
 * move into `inputRequests` unchanged.
 *
 * Design rules:
 *  - every question ships a researched default → questions are requests
 *    for correction, not blank fields
 *  - `askHuman: false` → the agent should answer from conversation
 *    context; only `askHuman: true` questions escalate to the user
 *  - every defaulted answer lands in the assumption ledger
