One thought I've had over the years that seemed to allow interesting divination while avoiding the "hal maneuver" was simply to insist that divination attempts could not be yes/no questions. Open-ended questions would work well for descriptions or portents, but not binary "If I do X, will Y result?" scenarios.
If instead you asked "What will happen if I do X?" you could get an interesting answer that can guide your steps in the future, which is kinda what divination is for, no?
