Lite profile
A light working profile for everyday research and small jobs: only security, git and approval gates remain; no task/report ceremony. The opening context shrinks and token use drops.

What it does
- Lite: a summary of security (no secrets written, project boundary), git (commit, push approval) and approval gates. Full: task, report, review and library rules.
- Automatic choice: the Daily area, research prompts and small (S) tasks run lite; medium/large work, library, hook and security work run full.
- The hook gate is active in both profiles; lite does not switch security checks off.
- The Daily area holds questions and research reports without a project id; the assistant answers from the archive first.

Is security relaxed in lite?
No. No secrets are written, and the project boundary and approval gates still apply.
How much does it save?
The target opening context is about a third of the full profile; measurements aim to keep cost for simple tasks close to a plain session.
What is “Token: Normal” in the status bar?
That is the token mode: how verbosely sessions work. The profile decides which rules are loaded.
