Browser-based visual companion for brainstorming sessions — showing mockups, wireframes, diagrams, and side-by-side comparisons. Use when a brainstorming question is inherently visual: layout choices, UI mockups, architecture diagrams, design comparisons. Not for: text-based questions, conceptual A/B choices, requirements scope, or tradeoff lists (those stay in terminal). Requires user consent before starting a session.
