A brief includes points, a question, a summary, a \"next why\" explanation, and options, and gets turned into fields like `status_category`, `needs_action`, `description`, `points`, `summary`, `next_why`, and `reply_options`.\n\n**Why**\n\nThis adds a more structured way for a status update to pose a question with selectable reply options, rather than just a free-form recap, though the finding doesn't say where in the product this new shape is actually produced or shown.\n\n- Area: Elsewhere\n- Tier: Under the hood\n- Useful: 2\/5\n- Signal: 2\/5"}
