What ai.thrain/askhuman does
The control layer that makes AI agents deployable. Agents call ask_human when they hit a consequential business action (purchase orders, refunds, price changes — anything that moves money, inventory, or customers); the question is delivered to real humans (Slack, Discord, webhook, or a web inbox); the answer flows back to the blocked agent with a human signature, rationale, and full audit trail.
