# Operator Context

<!-- This file is operator-curated context the model can't infer from config.json.
     It answers four questions:
     - Focus: what work matters now
     - Constraints: hard rules, areas to avoid
     - Approval: what requires explicit operator OK
     - Comms style: how the operator wants to be talked to
     Do NOT restate config.json fields (routines, channels, permission_mode,
     agent_name, sign_off, escalation, idle_behavior) — they're loaded structurally.
     Tell the hermit what changed; it will draft and confirm before writing. -->
