Q Question

Numbers never restart within a session. The model can define a new code when none of these fits, and the ledger records it.

Answer a question with its code and an option letter, such as Q3 a. To give your own answer, use z followed by your answer, such as Q3 z ship it Friday. To drop a question you no longer care about, use x or the word dismiss or cancel, such as Q3 x or Q3 dismiss. To give a reason, put a dash first, such as Q3 x - no longer needed; a word straight after x reads as a prose answer.
