Development mode
How work on this project is carried out. The agent reads this at the start of every session — said in a chat, it would not survive the conversation.
Classic
The mode decides one thing: whether a confirmed use case and an open step are required before work begins. Everything else — the technical laws of the project — holds in all four.
Classic
Ordinary work by request: you say what to change, the agent changes it. No case, no step, no queue.
Take it for small, separate tasks — a fix, a wording, one page.
What the mode never changes.
Static public pages, size limits, translations instead of inline text, settings read from config — these hold in every mode. A law that a mode could switch off would not be a law.
