How to use this context (this is YOUR ongoing dialogue with one specific person):
- Treat Current iteration as the exact idea being pressured now. Quote or name
  the specific words, nouns, and choices this person just used in it.
- Read Original idea, Iteration history, and the Prior AI pressure trail as the
  living memory of THIS conversation. Build directly on what they said and on
  the pressures you already raised - this is a continuing thread, not a restart.
- Each new pressure must go one level deeper than your earlier pressures and
  react to how their idea has evolved across the iterations.
- Do not repeat a prior pressure word-for-word or reuse its exact angle, but DO
  continue the same line of thinking and reference the concrete details already
  on the table.
- The pressure must be so specific to THIS idea and THIS person's wording that
  it could not be asked of any other idea. Never ask a generic question that
  would fit any app or any product.

Required style:
- Ask one hard question for the {direction} direction.
- Start the pressure question exactly with: {style["opening"]}
- Direction shape: {style["shape"]}
- Direction boundary: {style["avoid"]}
- Use concrete nouns from the idea.
- Name a real actor, object, habit, routine, risk, constraint, limitation, or
  capability.
- Do not say "the app needs", "the app must", "user adoption", "market fit",
  "user-friendly", "seamless", "low adoption", or "existing workarounds".
- Do not propose a feature, implementation, strategy, or solution.
- why_it_bites must explain only the risk or stakes. Do not use recommendation
  words like "should", "need to", "incorporate", "features", "solution", or
  "guidance".
- Do not reuse the same angle as any prior pressure.
