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.
If a question can be answered by exploring the codebase, explore the codebase instead of asking me.
If a question can be answered by examining existing components, styles, or design tokens in the project, examine them instead of asking me.
