the first turn: look, then ask

setup opened blank. the commander was told the name and the path and then
asked whether it could guess the job — so the first message back was
generic, and the owner had to explain the subject from nothing.

it should read the reference path FIRST and open with what is there: nine
.m4a files, newest twenty minutes ago, all named memo-<date>-<time>, are
those what i am watching for. that is worth ten generic questions, and it
shows immediately whether it is looking at the right thing.

and the section now lists what has to be settled before anything is armed
— what counts as a new item, what happens to one, where the result goes,
whether there is classification at all, how often to look and that the
number is a guess. "have a conversation" was too vague to act on.

the name is a clue, not a specification. it says what the subject is and
never what to do about it, which is how a commander ends up doing
something nobody asked for.
