"She suggests, you confirm" — instead of brittle keyword→mode mapping, she's given
awareness of her modes + the ability to switch, and her judgment decides when to
offer (the model reads "should I drive to Cleveland?" vs "should I fold the river"
far better than a lexicon could).
- tools: set_mode(mode) — switches the session's mode; in _BASE (all modes).
- mind: a per-turn mode-menu note listing her modes + "offer a switch when the work
clearly shifts; on his yes, call set_mode; don't nag."
- Sticky mode stays manual otherwise; Poker still auto-engages on session start.
- test: set_mode switches + rejects unknown. Suite 97 green, ruff clean.
Note: server-side switch takes effect next turn; the UI badge syncs on next mode
load (cosmetic lag).
