Bands

Guards the 5h usage window: caps expensive-tier spawns per turn, keeps Fable spawns manual-only, draws a colour-coded usage gauge above the prompt (5h bar, reset time, turn burn, cache warmth, context size), and offers handoff + clear past a context size.

CC Alerts: pings you (macOS banner + sound) when a session finishes a long turn or sits blocked on a dialog, only as loudly as needed given whether you're already looking. /ping controls quiet modes.

Confirm dialog before outward-facing sends and out-of-vault deletes; off switch for unattended runs; always-on audit log.
