Extracts what the user actually needs to deploy or change and the infrastructure constraints standing in the way, through a one-question-at-a-time interview until ~95% confidence. Use when the user selects the interview entry mode at session start, when an infrastructure ask is underspecified ("deploy X", "move us to Kubernetes", "improve its security posture") and the user accepts an interview offer, or when you catch yourself making unverified assumptions about environments, access, or permissions before any plan exists.
