It supports repeated rounds so each perspective can react to the previous round and refine the argument.
It is useful for product choices, architecture tradeoffs, career moves, strategy questions, and other concrete decisions that need structured pressure-testing.
It writes the finished debate to a timestamped markdown file in the output directory you provide.
