## Mode selection

| Mode       | Behavior                                | Use when                               |
| ---------- | --------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------- |
| `off`      | No automatic review dispatch.           | Hotfixes or very small local work.     |
| `standard` | Default review depth for full workflow. | Normal feature work.                   |
| `thorough` | More exhaustive review.                 | High-risk changes or public contracts. |

Project defaults live in `.comet/config.yaml`; each change snapshots the value into `.comet.yaml`.

## Presets

Hotfix and tweak default to `off` to keep lightweight paths lightweight. You can raise the mode before verify when risk warrants it.
