How the agent uses it
- The agent works in a perceive / act / verify / recover loop: it describes the design, issues
flip_footprintor another command, checks the result, and undoes the change if the check fails. - Commands report what they actually did. A refusal is a result, not a silent no-op — which is what lets the agent recover instead of building on a change that never happened.
- Anything the agent can do here, you can do yourself, and the reverse.
