Based on question type:
| Type | Format |
|---|---|
| Why/decision question | Quote relevant Decision Log entry (date, title, Why analysis) |

Example: "Approach X was abandoned due to redundancy with simpler method (project-a, 2026-03-28)."
Present the synthesized answer to the user. Keep it concise and actionable.
If the answer reveals a potential cross-project connection not yet recorded in dashboard, mention it: "This pattern can be recorded as a Cross-Project Observation via /log-review."
