🤖❓ AI Debrief (post task) - anything the AI didn't understand

The transcript mentions a few names/places that I was unsure how to spell, like Zhitlivka, Nadir, Zelenopillia. I used my best judgment but you may want to double check those. There were a couple points where Jonathan went on tangents or the transcript seemed to jump around. I tried to summarize the main points as clearly as possible.
