How it works
Typical session — no JSON, just chat:
Du: „Geh mein Italienisch-Deck durch — Verben sollen alle Formen auf einer Karte haben“
KI: list_deck_cards(deck_name="Italienisch", offset=0)
→ #1–#15 mit Front/Back
Chat-Analyse:
#3 mangiare — Partizip fehlt
#7 il libro — nicht dekliniert
Soll ich #3 anpassen?
Du: „ja, Partizip mangiato“
KI: BEFORE/AFTER im Chat + edit_card(note_id=…, back="…")
Du: „weiter“ / „nächster Block“ / „#7 auch“New chat message while Run is pending = revision, not blind apply.
