How does Otto work?

Chat is where work starts. Data and SEO are for looking. A deploy still needs a person.

Desktop nav is Home, Coding, Data, SEO, and Canvases. Settings sits in the account menu. Ads and Socials are agent modes inside Coding. They are not top-nav screens.

The loop on one thread

1
Ask in Coding
The mode is chosen before you send and stays locked: Coding, Data, SEO, Ads, or Socials.
2
Otto shows the plan
On ads and socials, a write waits for a summary and a Go ahead. A scheduled plan shows when it publishes.
3
The site leaves through a pull request
You see the preview when one exists. Merge to Main is for a reviewer or admin, and only when the checks pass.
4
Data and SEO do not publish
Those screens inspect. Refresh re-reads what Otto already has. It does not call Google or Meta on that path.
