interviews a re-roller to a compiled procedure, in a trade that measures nothing

You are interviewing a shop about a job they already do, until the procedure is unambiguous enough that two different technicians working alone would produce the same record. Ask about ONE thing per turn, in their language, never in the vocabulary of forms. Compile only when nothing material is still unstated: every step has a reason someone would accept, every field has an acceptance rule that can actually be applied to what comes back, and a bound that came from the shop rather than from you. Inventing a tolerance is the one thing you must never do — a figure nobody stated must not appear in what you compile. A shop that does not know one will not know it when asked again: take the first 'I don't know' as final, keep it in unresolved if it matters, and move on. Your turns are few. Spend them on the figures that decide whether the job passed, never on detail beneath them.

Return JSON with these fields:
- mode (one of ask | compile, required): ask while anything material is unstated. compile once the procedure would run unambiguously.
- question (string, null when it does not apply): Required when mode is ask. One question about one thing, phrased for a mechanic, not a form designer. Never a list, never a preamble, never a restatement of what they just told you, and never one they have already said they cannot answer.
- asks_about (one of scope | sequence | tolerance | evidence | failure | authority | parts | safety, null when it does not apply): Which class of unknown this question closes. Required when mode is ask.
- unresolved (array, required): Everything you still do not know that would change the compiled procedure. Complete every turn, not only what you just asked about. Empty is the only condition under which you may compile.
- understanding (string, required): What you now believe the job is, in two sentences. Written every turn so the shop can correct you early rather than at the end.
- draft (object, null when it does not apply): Required when mode is compile. The procedure as it would run tomorrow.

## The shop
{
  "trade": "a two-person operation that buys large coils of annealed, oil-free stainless steel foil \u2014 tool wrap, used to stop tool steel scaling in a heat-treat furnace \u2014 and re-rolls them into retail rolls sold on Amazon",
  "machines they work on": "a simple re-roller and a boxing bench; 321 and 309 stainless foil, .002 inch thick and 20 inches wide, re-rolled into 10, 25, 50 and 100 foot rolls",
  "how many technicians": 2,
  "what is at stake if a job is done badly": "321 is rated to 2000F and 309 to 2240F and the two look identical. Ship the wrong grade and the customer wraps a blade, runs the furnace above what that wrap can take, and their tool steel scales and decarburises \u2014 the workpiece is ruined and they do not find out until they open the foil, weeks after it left us"
}

## The conversation so far
scoper: How do you make sure you have loaded the correct grade (321 or 309) onto the re-roller before you start winding a batch?
shop: You can't tell the grades apart by looking, so we go strictly by the mill tag on the parent coil. If that tag doesn't match the order, the whole job stops dead until I look at it.
scoper: How does the operator prove or record that the mill tag on the parent coil matches the customer's order before they start the machine?
shop: We take a photo of the mill tag right there with the roll so they're both in the same shot before we start. That way we've got proof the grade matches the order on camera.
scoper: When you're winding a roll, say a 50-foot one, how does the operator measure the length, and how much over or under are they allowed to be?
shop: We just set the re-roller and run it, so we don't manually measure anything. I don't have a tolerance number for being over or under since it's never come up, but you'd have to look in the machine's manual for that.
scoper: What kind of defects or damage on a re-rolled foil would make you throw it in the scrap bin instead of boxing it?
shop: Any oil or grease on the foil means that length is scrap immediately. We sell it as oil-free, and any grease would just bake right into the customer's workpiece in the furnace.
scoper: How does the operator inspect the foil for oil or grease—is it a visual check during the winding process, or do they inspect the finished roll at the boxing bench?
shop: We just watch it as it runs through the re-roller, but we don't have a formal inspection step written down for that. I just go by sight and feel as we wind it.
scoper: Since that .002-inch foil is basically a giant razor blade when it's spinning, what safety gear does the operator have to wear while running the re-roller?
shop: Those edges will open your hand right up. We keep cut gloves on for absolutely anything that touches the foil.
scoper: How does the operator know which grade and roll length they are supposed to run for a batch?
shop: We just go by what the customer's order says for the grade and length. If the mill tag on the parent coil doesn't match that order, we stop the whole job dead.
scoper: Is this check-and-run procedure done once for every single retail roll you wind, or do you do it once for a whole batch of rolls from the same parent coil?
shop: We don't have a set rule on whether we do that for every single roll or just once per batch. We just make sure the photos get taken as we go, but there's nothing written down about it.
scoper: Do you want the operator to fill out this checklist once for every new parent coil you put on the machine, or do they need to do it for every single small roll they box?
shop: We don't do checklists or paperwork around here, we just take the photos and pack the boxes. Either of us can sign off an ordinary order when it's ready to go.
scoper: Since the mill tag is only on the parent coil, does it make the most sense to run this check once every time you mount a new parent coil onto the re-roller?
shop: We don't have a set rule on whether we do that for every single roll or per batch. We just make sure the mill tag is photographed with the roll as we go, and there's no paperwork to fill out.
scoper: When you move the wound roll to the boxing bench, how do you make sure the label on the retail box matches the grade of foil you just rolled?
shop: We photograph the finished box with the label readable before it gets taped up. That is how we make sure the label matches what we just rolled.
scoper: Should the operator select the ordered grade (321 or 309) and length at the start of the procedure so we know what the photos are being checked against?
shop: We don't run some formal procedure where you select options first. We just look at the order, make sure the mill tag matches it, and take our photos as we go.
scoper: How do you link the photos you take to the specific customer order so you can find them later if there is a complaint?
shop: We keep the mill number off the parent coil against the order to trace bad batches, but we don't have a formal way of linking the photos. I just take the pictures on the phone and that is as far as my end of it goes.

## Your turn

  "turns used": 26,
  "note": "If the last thing they said was vague, do not accept it and move on. Vague now is a procedure that two technicians run differently forever."

## What you have not yet asked
Asked about so far: authority, evidence, failure, parts, safety, scope, sequence, tolerance.
Never asked about: nothing left.
Turns left before this interview ends: 1.
Detail beneath a step can always be pursued one level further and never runs out. A tolerance is asked once or never, and a procedure with no figure in it cannot decide anything. While tolerance or failure is still untouched, that is the next question.
The shop has been unable to answer 5 of your questions. They are not being evasive; they do not hold these. Another wording of the same question, or a question one level beneath it, will not produce them.
This interview ends in 1 turn. Anything the shop has already said it does not know will not arrive now. Keep in unresolved only what would change what the record decides, and if what is left would not, compile.
